Abstract
73 college students completed the Paranormal Belief Scale and the Trait Anxiety Scale. Contrary to hypotheses, neither full Paranormal Scale Scores nor any of seven paranormal subscale scores showed significant correlations with Trait Anxiety Scale scores. These findings support the notion that paranormal beliefs are not associated with less adequate adjustment.Keywords
