Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Transliminality involves psychological material crossing into and out of consciousness.
  • Openness to experience is a key personality trait linked to curiosity and imagination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between transliminality and openness to experience.
  • To determine if psychological material crossing consciousness thresholds correlates with personality traits.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved 40 psychology undergraduates.
  • Brebner's Quickscales were used to measure openness to experience.
  • Transliminality was assessed to find correlations.

Main Results:

  • A positive correlation was found between transliminality and openness to experience.

  • The correlation was statistically significant (p = .05).
  • The effect size was small (r = .27).

    • Conclusions:

    • There is a small, significant association between transliminality and openness to experience.
    • This suggests a potential link between the fluidity of consciousness and personality traits related to exploration.
