thinking critically about psychology

23 February 2008 No Comment

All science is based on curiosity, a passion to explore and understand without misleading or being misled. For example, is there life after death? Do ghosts and demons really exist? When it comes to questions related to paranormal psychology there are more skeptics than believers. Some skeptics can turn into believers if they have a first hand experience combined with other evidence of something paranormal. To become a believer in paranormal psychology requires a scientific attitude, which involves curious skepticism to understand what is really going on.

One can acquire the tools needed for researching the topic of paranormal, such as thermal imaging cameras or digital electronic recorders to gather evidence. If something was captured on camera, the researcher would experiment to try and recreate the phenomena. If the phenomena cannot be recreated, you have solid evidence to report that there is something paranormal in the research environment you are investigating.

When dealing with topics such as the paranormal, there will be skeptics. Skeptics can turn into believers if they have a first hand experience. Such crazy sounding ideas do find support when subjected to a scientific attitude. Other researchers can further experiment with the time of day. For example, some researchers in this field believe that most spirits manifest during the early morning hours.

To test this, researchers can use a concept called dead time to try and communicate with a spirit. Dead time is where you turn off all electronic devices and electricity such as lights. The environment should be completely dark and quiet.
