Abstract/Results: | ABSTRACT:
Tested the hypothesized association between transliminality and synesthesia in 2 correlational studies. Participants in Study 1 were 115 persons (aged 18–73 yrs), half of whom suffered from panic attacks and half of whom were their support-givers, who had taken part in an experiment by M. A. Thalbourne et al (1997). Materials included a factor score representing degree of transliminality and a 6-item synesthesia scale derived from the Absorption Scale (A. Tellegen and G. Atkinson, 1974). The Spearman rank correlation between scores on transliminality and synesthesia was .47. Participants in Study 2 were 242 psychology students (aged 17–63 yrs) in a study by Thalbourne (1998). Materials included the 29-item Transliminality Scale and the 6-item synesthesia scale. The Spearman rank correlation between scores on transliminality and synesthesia was .57. In both samples, scores on Tellegen's synesthesia scale consistently showed moderate correlations with 2 measures of transliminality. The authors interpret these findings as consistent with the hypothesis that transliminality involves "enhanced interconnectedness" in the brain, with 2 caveats.
