The present research aimed at examining the mediating role of
paranormal beliefs between external locus of control and religiosity.
Associations in urban men and women and rural men and women were
also sought. A sample of 153 adult men and 156 adult women from urban
and rural areas of Sargodha District through a convenient sample was
collected. Paranormal Beliefs Scale (Tobayck, 2004) revised in Urdu
(PBS-R) by Tahir and Ghayas 1
(2014); Multidimensional Locus of
Control Scale (Levenson, 1981) translated in Urdu (2019); and
Religiosity Practice and Beliefs Scale (Amjad, 2007) were used. Results
revealed significant positive relationship among external locus of control,
paranormal beliefs and religiosity, and it was evident in greater degree in
rural people. Regression analysis revealed external locus of control and
paranormal beliefs emerged as significant predictors of religiosity; and
paranormal beliefs and this relationship mediated between external locus
of control and religiosity.
