Regardless of culture, most adult humans report experiencing similar feelings such as anger, fear, humor, and joy. Some people report a vivid tapestry of positive and negative emotional experi ences. Other people report that a single emotion such as depression or fear totally dominates their existences.

Workers in the fields of physiology, neurology, ethology, physiological psychology, personality and social psychology, clinical psychology and psychiatry, medicine, nursing, social work, and the clergy are all directly concerned with emotion.

This up-to-date summary of research in the field highlights the pivotal role that emotions play in personality formation and social behavior.

As the title of this book indicates, my own interest in religious conversion is not sociological, historical, nor anthropolog ical. My aim is to elucidate the experience of religious conversion as a change in the self and to raise suggestions for the study of the self that derive from the data on religious conversion.

This book presents an approach to quantifying consciousness and its various states. It represents over ten years of work in developing, test­ ing, and researching the use of relatively simple self-report question­ naires in the retrospective assessment of subjective or phenomenologi­ cal experience. While the simplicity of the method allows for subjective experience to be reliably and validly assessed across various short stim­ ulus conditions, the flexibility of the approach allows the cognitive psy­ chologist, consciousness researcher, and mental health professional to quantify and statistically assess the phenomenological variables associ­ ated with various stimulus conditions, altered-state induction tech­ niques, and clinical procedures. The methodology allows the cognitive psychologist and mental health professional to comprehensively quantify the structures and pat­ terns of subjective experience dealing with imagery, attention, affect, volitional control, internal dialogue, and so forth to determine how these phenomenological structures might covary during such stimulus conditions as free association, a sexual fantasy, creative problem solving, or a panic attack. It allows for various phenomenological pro­ cesses to be reported, quantified, and statistically assessed in a rather comprehensive fashion that should help shed greater understanding on the nature of mind or consciousness.
