Studies

A lot of skeptics will say "I won't believe that this is real until you show me studies about it." Well, here are the studies. 

Keep in mind that some of these may be outdated or biased, or run off of small surveys and sample sizes. Please consume these articles with an open mind and a grain of salt. Also note that this list does not include as many studies on traumagenic and dissociative plurality, as those studies are plentiful and easy to find compared to studies about general or endogenic plurality. 

This page is still a work in progress. Big thanks to Wolfgang for compiling the list so far.
