'This talk will cover my research into different beliefs and why we believe in certain things and not others. It will look at the personality types potentially associated with what we believe and how these beliefs might affect the way we think. This talk will cover differences in thinking and personality and cover the issues with researching paranormal belief and whether a particular mindset or way of thinking are required to believe in the paranormal. I will also talk about how research has been conducted, looking at paranormal and other beliefs. I will examine some of the theories that have been used to explain why people believe in the paranormal, and I will discuss the problems with them and how the questions we ask might affect the answers we find.'
