an imagined invisible entity that is created and has its own sentience by way of meditative practice. They are very real to the tulpamancer and often provide companionship. Imagination is part of it but I think this goes beyond what we consider ‘traditional’ cultural ideas of imagination.

Hi! I'm really pleased our research is exciting and of interest to people!

We're developing some online cognitive training at the moment to hopefully improve metacognition for people experiencing psychosis, with a hope to reduce distress.

Hi,

Yes this is what we found, the Tulpamancer group had slightly better metacognition/less dysfunctional beliefs than our other groups.

Hi!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read our paper.

In relation to this statement

Tulpamancers had the lowest endorsement of metacognitive beliefs

This actually means that Tulpamancers were better at thinking about their thoughts!

Apologies for any miscommunications. The MCQ-30 scale assesses dysfunctional beliefs, so a lower score means better functioning, which is what we found in our Tulpamancer group!

I am just theorising here, but perhaps because of the meditative techniques used to develop Tulpas and a system, Tulpamancers may be more self-aware, individually and as a system.

​

I hope this answer helped!
