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.
