    Anomalistic Psychology, including Parapsychology: (i) quantitative analyses of theories and constructs that attempt to explain alleged paranormal phenomena (a.k.a. psi), (ii) quantitative investigations into the psychology of paranormal belief (e.g., testing correlates of psi belief), and (iii) interpretations of alleged paranormal phenomena in academia and the wider community.

    Personality and Individual Differences including Analytical (i.e., Jungian) Psychology: (i) Archetype Theory and meaningfulness, (ii) qualitative aspects of symbols, including numbers and images, and their psychological impact and relevance to various cultures, (iii) comparative studies of psychological types using various Jungian ‘type’ measures and other personality measures.

    I have supervised Honours students in the areas of anomalistic psychology, parapsychology, typology, gambling, and symbolic meaning.
