Journal of Social Psychology, Dec. 26(Pt. 4), 345-346. Hood's M scale, which measures reported
mystical experience, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, which measures
introversion/extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, and a lie score, were completed by 115
subjects. Findings indicate no significant correlations between mysticism and EPQ scales.
Mysticism could not be predicted by multiple regression, either by EPQ scales with sex and age or
controlling for sex and age.

Humanistic Psychology, 26(4), 48-83. Discusses human potential movement (HPM) among

Soviet families grow out of experiences as Soviet citizens, parallels with human potential

government, which has also encouraged relations with HPM representatives in US. Discusses Soviet
psychology and culture in terms of this movement.
