Abstract

Subjects ( N = 574) filled out Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale and a questionnaire measuring beliefs and experiences in paranormal phonomena that included a question on drug use. Results (α = 0.01) from multi- and univariate analyses of variance showed that high, relative to low, sensation seekers (General SS Scale, Thrill and Adventure Seeking, and Experience Seeking), reported stronger paranormal beliefs and more frequent paranormal experiences; high sensation seekers also scored higher on the Introspection subscale. Results were similar when drug users were compared to nonusers. Drug use and gender did not moderate the relationship between sensation seeking and paranormal beliefs and experiences as the two- and three-way interactions were not significant in any of the analyses.
