摘要
A survey of beliefs about the paranormal was completed by 267 university students. Protestants were more likely to believe in the Devil, possession by the Devil, and witches, but less likely to believe in reincarnation or haunted houses. Catholics were more likely to believe in astrology. Students whose religion was important to them were less likely to believe in the Devil, possession by the Devil, astrology, extrasensory perception, or reincarnation.
