There exists
a remarkable dis-
Crepancy between "quantitative" parap-
sychological experiments, often inves-
tigating the paranormal transfer of in-
formation in dull laboratory atmosphere
without emotional components, and the
"qualitative" analysis of spontaneous
parapsychological events which only sel-
domly
show
a
clear
transfer
of
information; instead of this, in the
multitude of happenings, a diffuse, sym-
bolically encoded transfer of emotional
contents and emotional states are found.
The author proposes three models for
investigation which are more adequate to
the emotional character of a parapsy-
chological phenomena than the quan-
titative-statistical experiments used up
to now.
Testing two methodical experi-
ments with a few samples (14 to 25 sub-
jects as ESP percipients), only one ex-
periment out of nine partial experiments
yielded a highly significant ESP result
for the group. These results show that
the ESP performance in the group was
highly dependent on the emotional load-
ing of the target material. - DA

Psychosocial as-
pects of spontaneous psychokinesis.
Zeitschrift fur Parapsychologie und
Grenzgebiete der Psychologie, 1973,
15(4), 213-229. 4 refs
Most parapsychological publications
on recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis
(RSPK) are primarily interested in the
description, documentation and confirma-
tion of the phenomena in question.
In
this paper, however, a selection of so-
cial and psychological results
examined :
The
effect of "social
perception" (a perception which is con-
ditioned by social influences) on the
witnesses, and on their opinions, as
well as the conflict of the "unex-
plainable" phenomena with the standards
and roles of the persons involved.
We
conclude from the results of this study
that the sociopsychological aspect is
indispensible for a comprehensive ana-
lysis of spontaneous psychokinesis. The
implications concern the evaluation of
the witnesses' credibility as well as
psychotherapeutic arguments in favor of
scientists working in the field of spon-
taneous psychokinesis ( RSPK). - DA

Psychokinetic phenomena are seen as
manifestations of biogravitation, two
