Psychology of Religion

We are looking at the relationship between religiosity (how religious you are) and cognitive style. The study is open to anyone and should take no longer than 30 minutes.

The aim of this research is to investigate spiritual, religious, supernatural and paranormal (SRSP) experiences from the perspective of psychology, as well as to try to identify any other factors which might go hand-in-hand with these experiences.  While this study is interested in SRSP experiences, you do not have to have had one of the above to participate. We are equally interested in comparing these experiences with non-experience.
