Parapsychology

MECHANISMS

Field research uses methods from sociology and anthropology.

Laboratory studies use research methods from psychology, biology and physics.

Parapsychology uses methods commonly employed in other scientific disciplines.

STANDARDS OF SCIENTIFIC RIGOR

The endpoint would be solid, repeatable, enduring data that can be confidently built upon to move a field forward with the full confidence of our colleagues and the public.

This will not only ensure it is kept afloat, but with ethical scientists to captain the ship, it will keep sailing in the appropriate direction.

Scientific rigor can be visualized as a ship that has to be built with expert and sturdy craftsmanship.

FEAR AND DISCOMFORT WITHUNCERTAINTY

Many scientists face a double-whammy in this regard. Not only do they personally not believe that people can read each others’ minds or influence physical events through.

UNCRITICAL, PSEUDOSCIENTIFI, AND CULT BELIEFS

Parapsychologists purport to apply scientific method to the investigation of the bases of commonly reported parapsychological experiences such as extrasensory perception.

PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC AFFRONT TO REAL SCIENCE

Parapsychology is a field of study that investigates the paranormal or “psychic" phenomena that cannot be explained by current scientific knowledge.
