The apparent variability in the forms of reincarnation beliefs and associated practices across cultures is widely documented in the anthropological literature. Yet when a comparative perspective is adopted, some aspects appear to be remarkably similar. The aim of this research is to supplement cultural theories by taking account of what is known about individual-level psychology. In doing so, a number of hypotheses are generated and tested, first among participants in the UK and then in India with members of the Jain community.
