Table 1. Means, standard deviations, and Pearson r correlation coefficients for each questionnaire and subscales.

Notes: p ≤ 0.0001 except for one shaded item where p = 0.02. With a Bonferroni multiple comparison adjustment, a significant p-value would be <0.0044 (0.05/16*16/2-16). Bold font represents Pearson r values that are moderately correlated (0.50-0.69), bold and underlined fonts represent values that are highly correlated (0.70-0.89), bold and double underlined fonts represent values that are very highly correlated (0.90-1.0). NEBS = Noetic Experience and Belief Scale, AEI = Anomalous Experiences Inventory.
