Abstract：
This study examined variations in positive well-being as a function of paranormal belief and schizotypy. A sample of 2,362 United Kingdom-based respondents completed self-report measures assessing paranormal belief, schizotypy, positive well-being (meaning in life, satisfaction with life, and self-esteem), paranormal experience, and belief in conspiracies. The paranormal belief was most strongly related to the cognitive-perceptual factor of schizotypy. Both paranormal belief and the cognitive-perceptual factor were associated with reporting paranormal experiences and endorsement of conspiracist beliefs. Despite commonality, paranormal belief and schizotypy were differentially related to well-being. Paranormal belief correlated positively with meaning in life (presence and search) and satisfaction with life. Schizotypy correlated negatively with presence, satisfaction with life, and self-esteem and positively with search. Latent profile analysis identified four subgroups: Profile 1, low belief and schizotypy (49% of the sample); Profile 2, low belief and cognitive-perceptual, moderate interpersonal and disorganised (13.6%); Profile 3, high belief, moderate cognitive-perceptual and interpersonal, low disorganised (24.3%); and Profile 4, high belief and schizotypy (13.1%). Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) found that low belief with mixed schizotypy was associated with lower presence, and low belief and schizotypy (vs. high) were related to higher presence. Paranormal belief and schizotypy were associated with greater search, higher scores on paranormal experiential factors, and endorsement of generic conspiracist beliefs. Finally, lower belief and schizotypy were concomitant with higher satisfaction with life and self-esteem. Overall, paranormal belief was related to positive well-being, whereas schizotypy was associated with lower positive wellbeing.
摘要：
这项研究检查了积极幸福感的变化，这些变化是超自然信念和分裂型的功能。2,362名英国受访者完成了评估超自然信念的自我报告措施，分裂型，积极的福祉(生活中的意义，对生活的满意度，和自尊)，超自然体验,和对阴谋的信仰。超自然信念与精神分裂症的认知知觉因素最密切相关。超自然信仰和认知知觉因素都与报告超自然经历和对阴谋论信仰的认可有关。尽管有共同之处,超自然信念和分裂型与幸福感存在差异。超自然信念与生活意义（存在和搜索）和对生活的满意度呈正相关。分裂型与存在负相关，对生活的满意度，自尊和积极的搜索。潜在谱分析确定了四个亚组：概况1，低信念和分裂型（样本的49％）；概况2，低信念和认知知觉，温和的人际关系和混乱(13.6%)；概况3，高信念，适度的认知-感性和人际，低无组织（24.3%）；概况4，高信念和分裂型（13.1%）。多变量方差分析（MANOVA）发现，混合分裂型的低信念与较低的存在有关，和低信念和分裂型(vs.高)与更高的存在有关。超自然信念和分裂与更大的搜索相关，超自然经验因素得分较高，以及对一般阴谋家信仰的认可。最后,较低的信念和分裂型伴随着对生活和自尊的较高满意度。总的来说,超自然信念与积极的幸福感有关，而分裂型与较低的阳性幸福感有关。
