SOCIAL INFLUENCES ON PARANORMAL BELIEF: POPULAR VERSUS SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT

Paranormal belief is something that I've always been interested in. The notion that we could communicate just by thinking about it seems surreal. I've always thought that if we did have that ability then maybe we could share information simultaneously throughout or community and actually start moving forward in evolution at a faster pace. School and learning would be obsolete if one could gather all information from someone at once. This study is interesting because people were led to believe that esp was real by showing them evidence (false evidence) of ESP activity. This is another study on social psychology where people were influenced on the basis that somebody else had the ability. A real interesting study that i suggest people read.

Don't believe the hype!
