In the present paper, we prove spectral mapping theorem for (m,n)-paranormal operator T on a separable Hilbert space, that is, f (?w(T)) = ?w(f(T)) when is an analytic function some open neighborhood of ?(T). We also show T, Weyl?s holds, ?(T)-?w(T) ?00(T). Moreover, if algebraically (m,n)-paranormal, then and hold.

OBJECTIVE The present study examined the relation between déjà vu experiences and paranormal beliefs in schizophrenic patients. METHODS A total of 522 participants (54.5% female; mean age=33.3, SD=16.02) were recruited, including 422 healthy adults (60.9% female; mean age=29.48, SD=15.07) and 100 medicated adult schizophrenic patients (27.3% female; mean age=48.98, SD=8.57). The Chinese versi...

We present the validation study of the Paranormal Health Beliefs Scale adult version, aimed to measure illusory beliefs about health. The scale was administered to 643 participants (54.3% females), having an average age of 29.7 years (standard deviation = 18.31). The results of the analyses confirmed the dimensions of the Paranormal Health Beliefs Scale as developed in the previous adolescent s...

Previous research has shown that people reporting contact with aliens, known as "experiencers", appear to have a different psychological profile compared to control participants. They show higher levels of dissociativity, absorption, paranormal belief and experience, and possibly fantasy proneness. They also appear to show greater susceptibility to false memories as assessed using the Deese/Roe...

This study investigated the degree to which cognitive bias mediated relationship between thinking style and belief in paranormal. A sample of 496 participants completed Revised Paranormal Belief Scale (RPBS), Science (BISS), Cognitive Biases Questionnaire for Psychosis, reality testing subscale Inventory Personality Organization (IPO-RT). The BISS IPO-RT served as proxy indices preferred style;...

Let B(H) be the set of all bounded endomorphisms (operators) on the complex Hubert space H. T € B(H) is paranormal if \\(T — z/) || = l/d(z, cr(T)) for all z £ cr(T) where d(z, cr(T)) is the distance from z to cr(T), the spectrum of T. If J is the set of all paranormal operators on H, then J contains the normal operators, JÍ, and the hyponormal operators; and J is contained in JL, the set of al...

The neurocognitive processes underlying the formation and maintenance of paranormal beliefs are important for understanding schizotypal ideation. Behavioral studies indicated that both schizotypal and paranormal ideation are based on an overreliance on the right hemisphere, whose coarse rather than focussed semantic processing may favor the emergence of 'loose' and 'uncommon' associations. To e...

Previous studies have shown that one's prior beliefs have a strong effect on perceptual decision-making and attentional processing. The present study extends these findings by investigating how individual differences in paranormal and conspiracy beliefs are related to perceptual and attentional biases. Two field studies were conducted in which visitors of a paranormal conducted a perceptual dec...

Often it is difficult to find a natural explanation as to why a surprising coincidence occurs. In attempting to find one, people may be inclined to accept paranormal explanations. The objective of this study was to investigate whether people with a lower threshold for being surprised by coincidences have a greater propensity to become believers compared to those with a higher threshold. Partici...
