Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Present study examined the effects of logical/probabilistic reasoning skills, cognitive style and the level of science literacy on belief in paranormal and non-paranormal pseudosciences. Results showed that reasoning skills had no impact on beliefs, however, analytic cognitive style was associated with beliefs. These results suggested that such belief was a irrational by-product of our informal reasoning process.
