State, trait, and target parameters associated with accuracy in two online tests of precognitive remote viewing

Two online experiments tested whether people can accurately predict future events using precognitive remote viewing (PRV). In experiment 1, 682 unpaid participants completed 5,432 forced-choice trials with no time limit and self-judged their accuracy. In experiment 2, 307 paid participants each completed one free-response trial with a controlled time and independent judging. Overall PRV performance was significant in experiment 2 but not experiment 1. In experiment 1, sex-at-birth and target interestingness influenced accuracy, with the most interesting targets most often correctly predicted. In experiment 2, feelings of unconditional love and anxiety correlated with higher accuracy, especially anxiety among women, and target interestingness again related positively to accuracy. The results indicate that sex-at-birth, gender, emotional state, and target interestingness all affect PRV accuracy, with task characteristics moderating some effects.
