Creencia en lo paranormal, Factores cognitivos, mórbidos y premórbidos, Teoría de la compensación de necesidades (Russell y Jones, 1980) , Estudio empíricoResumen
La literatura muestra una amplia gama de teorías y factores contribuyentes a la formación y mantenimiento de creencias paranormales. En este estudio analizamos una serie de variables relacionadas con las principales explicaciones propuestas en una muestra de 184 sujetos: esquizotipia (rxy=0’23, p<0’001), experiencias inusuales (rxy=0,37, p<0,001), anhedonia introvertida (rxy=0’28, p<0’001), habilidad de razonamiento condicional en tareas con contenido paranormal (rxy=0’23, p=0’001), necesidad de afiliación (rxy=0’21, p=0’002) y vivencia de experiencias extraordinarias subjetivas (rxy=0’35, p<0’001) correlacionaron significativamente con la creencia en lo paranormal. Los resultados son consistentes con la teoría de la compensación de necesidades de Russell y Jones (1980) e indican que la ideología puede aparecer asociada a signos premórbidos y/o ser consecuencia de psicopatología. Sin embargo, sugieren que la creencia en lo paranormal puede no ser consecuencia de una deficiencia de razonamiento probabilístico y/o condicional. Se sugiere un modelo integrador basado en el feedback entre creencia y experiencia.
