TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Relationships between locus of control and paranormal beliefs JO - Psychological reports A1 - Newby, Robert W. A1 - Davis, Jessica Boyette SP - 1261 EP - 1266 VL - 94 IS - 3 N2 - The present study investigated the associations between scores on paranormal beliefs, locus of control, and certain psychological processes such as affect and cognitions as measured by the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count. Analysis yielded significant correlations between scores on Locus of Control and two subscales of Tobacyk's (1988) Revised Paranormal Beliefs Scale, New Age Philosophy and Traditional Paranormal Beliefs. A step-wise multiple regression analysis indicated that Locus of Control was significantly related to New Age Philosophy. Other correlations were found between Tobacyk's subscales, Locus of Control, and three processes measured by the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count.
