Psychologická Analýza Akcentací Charakteru Respondentů Praktikujících Okultismus

Abstract

The article deals with a psychological analysis of character accentuations in respondents practicing the occult. The aim is to identify personality accentuations and reveal psychological personality types. The authors use the psychological character questionnaire Accent of Personality of Leonhard and Shmishek for research. The sample includes ninety respondents with Belarusian and Russian citizenship, of which 25 were men and 65 women. The average age of the respondents is thirty years. Quantitative research took place during the years 2019-2020 and was carried out by electronic data collection via Google Forms. The research shows that out of a total of ninety respondents, 86 respondents tend to have some emphasis. Research confirms the view that respondents tend to believe in a number of alternative ideas, such as psychokinesis, reincarnation, astrology, witchcraft, and supernatural psychic abilities. The results can also be used by the staff of the centers when working with adolescents who are interested in the occult but do not profess any religion. Psychologists can use the results obtained in psychological training or psychodrama to normalize the emotional behavior of participants.
