Between faith and cognition: religiosity, paranormal beliefs, and dualist views of the mind–body relationship

BETWEEN FAITH AND COGNITION: RELIGIOSITY, PARANORMAL BELIEFS, AND DUALISTIC VIEWS OF THE MIND–BODY RELATIONSHIP

The primary predictors of dualist views of the mind–body relationship are professional context and the subjective importance of religion, rather than paranormal beliefs or religious affiliation.

The study aimed to examine how religiosity and belief in extrasensory perception (ESP) relate to metaphysical views of the mind–body relationship across professional groups. A total of 312 participants, comprising psychologists, psychiatrists, and theologians, completed measures of religious affiliation, the importance of religion, ESP belief, and stance on the mind–body relationship. Analyses used chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), and logistic regression. Significant differences in religious affiliation were found between groups (chi-square (6) = 50.74; p < 0.001; Cramér’s V = 0.29); the importance of religion also differed across groups (F(2, 309) = 70.10; p < 0.001; eta-squared = 0.31), with theologians rating religion as more important than the other groups did. In the logistic regression, the subjective importance of religion significantly predicted dualist mind–body beliefs (odds ratio (OR) = 0.68; p < 0.001), whereas religious affiliation was not significant. ESP belief showed a nonsignificant trend toward dualism, and a weak but significant association was found between religiosity and ESP belief (p = 0.044; Cramér’s V = 0.12). The authors state that the findings contribute to understanding the cognitive and religious factors that shape metaphysical views in mental health and theological contexts.
