Abstract
In the 1980s and early 1990s, questionnaire surveys were done in Japan for university students and medical staff members on anomalous (paranormal) experiences. Since the times of these surveys, a new generation has appeared, the so-called "Digital Native Generation" that was born during the development of many forms of information technology. Also they are often called as "Yutori" generation in Japan if they were born from 1987 to 1997 and were educated by "Yutori" curriculum. The present study gives the results of a questionnaire survey for Japanese university students (133 males, 152 females) of Digital Native on anomalous experiences and trust for other persons. It was found that the frequencies of anomalous experiences were similar to those of previous surveys, and that supported the hypothesis that anomalous experiences are experience-based, not culture-based. The tendency of trust was larger for the Digital Native generation than the previous generations. And it was suggested that the belief for 6th sense correlated to other factors such as trust for other persons, rather than ESP experiences.
