There was no relationship between Psychic Interest and TPA with ρxy =-0.076 (p = 0.114; p <0.05; N = 479). There was a positive relationship with the attitude towards Sociology subject ρxy = 0.176 (p = 0.001; p <0.01; N = 470), and negative with Biology ρxy =-0.108 (p = 0.019; p <0.05; N = 470) there was no connection with other subjects.
