Mae cyfres o astudiaethau cysylltiedig wedi ceisio edrych ar gyffredinrwydd, a chydberthnasau cymdeithasol-seicolegol, credoau crefyddol anhraddodiadol. Mae’r tîm ymchwil wedi edrych ar faterion o gredoau ofergoelus, credu mewn lwc, credu yn y goruwchnaturiol, a chredu mewn archgreaduriaid. Yn ogystal, mae’r tîm ymchwil wedi edrych ar y modd y mae’r credoau hyn yn gysylltiedig â phersonoliaeth, lles seicolegol, ac agwedd tuag at gredoau theistig. Bydd gwaith yn y dyfodol yn ceisio datblygu mwy ar fesurau credoau anhraddodiadol, ac edrych ar y maes mewn cyd-destun rhyngwladol.
