Paranormal Beliefs and Locus of Control: A Multidimensional Examination

Pages 241-246 | Published online: 10 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

Relationships between paranormal beliefs and locus of control were studied, using multidimensional operationalizations of both constructs. The Paranormal Belief Scale and Paulhus's Spheres of Control Scale were administered to 349 introductory college students. As hypothesized, significant correlations showed predicted relationships between (a) greater personal efficacy control and less belief in superstition and witchcraft, and (b) greater interpersonal control and less belief in superstition.
