Invisible language 2019: A sociological view on intra- and interspecies intuitive communication
Listed in CSDA Dataverse and Czech Social Science Data Archive — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.14473/csda/qnu3eg
This piece of reserach investigates the extent of validity, unpredictability and detail of the information that animal communicators, as they are known, are able to intuitively receive or produce and record in written form about a particular animal based on the feelings evoked by its photographic image.
Description
The methodology is grounded in social science (in particular, the method of content analysis of written documents) and focuses on the analysis of meaning.
A comparison of 8,660 semantic analytical units (pieces of information) obtained from 224 recordings from four groups - advanced communicators, beginners in intuitive communication, the laypersons, and veterinary experts - reveals a high proportion of valid, unpredictable, and specific information recorded by advanced communicators through intuitive procedures. The validity of each analytical unit was measured by means of evaluation carried out by an animal´s owner.

The coding of unpredictability of each valid piece of information was based on triangulation of opinions and recordings of three independent veterinary experts. The degree of detail was measured by coders. The reliability of all the three variables was tested with Holsti coefficient, which varied from 0.82 to 1.
The correlation between respondent status (i.e. belonging to a group) and the nature of the information (i.e. the degree of validity, unpredictability, and detail) varies from 0.401 to 0.689 (Eta coefficient), depending on the use of different filters. Further, the qualitative analysis of the semantic character of valid, unpredictable and detailed information from animal communicators has unearthed its "puzzling" and discontinuous character.
There is also diversity of the types of valid information between individual communicators. In sum, we have data supporting the idea that some people systematically employing intuitive processes are capable of achieving highly valid results with relative frequency, but we lack an unequivocal theoretical explanation of the phenomenon, which is a challenge for further research.
