We observe that these communities utilize cultural models to identify and to explain voice-like events-and that there are some common features to these models across communities. This paper compares the ideas and practices of these communities. There are communities in which hearing voices frequently is common and expected, and in which participants are not expected to have a need for care. Our results provide evidence that the tulpa-host relationship may function as a beneficial mechanism in the lives of the host.
Finally, our hypothesis that the personalities of hosts and tulpas would be related to perceived relationship satisfaction was supported for certain personality characteristics. While we predicted that the personalities of the host and tulpa would be complementary, our results indicated they were more consistent with a similarity perspective.
Our pre-registered analyses ( bi484h) found that hosts reported positive experiences with their tulpas. Individuals with tulpas completed an online questionnaire of host and tulpa personality and scales of host’s relationship satisfaction. Further, we examined the role of personality similarity in predicting relationship satisfaction. The primary aim of our study was to examine the personality characteristics of tulpas and their hosts. Tulpamancy is a practice that involves the creation of imagined sentient companions, tulpas, who abide within their human host's mind.
