Sample scholarly language:
Clamar (1988) conducted the first personality study dealing with
modern alien abduction and, on finding nine people claiming UFO
abduction, referred them to a psychologist, blinded to the actual
purpose of the testing, for personality assessment. Individual
and group profile reports indicated that the group was heterogeneous
in terms of overt personality style and that most of its members
had above-average intelligence. Some common underlying emotional
variable included mild identity disturbance, deficits in the
interpersonal sphere, and mild paranoid phenomena. |
