Abstract/Summary

The purpose of this research is to understand the cognitive and the affective perceptions of individuals with the sixth sense through their personal experiences and their experiences with the people close to them. The researchers were learning about how the individuals make sense of their everyday lives having this kind of ability. Following a set of psychological methods and approaches, researchers conducted a series of interviews with people who identified themselves as having the sixth sense, and are able to experience paranormal phenomena. Through the individual accounts of their experiences and narratives, analysis of the data was done through the use of Narrative Analysis. In finality, gathered perceptions and thoughts about the individuals with the sixth sense were divided into two perceptives abilities seen as a blessing and gift, and abilities seen as a curse and burden.
