South Korean and American college students are compared on paranormal beliefs. The surveys were administered twice, first in 1999 and then in 2009 both in Korea and in the United States. In 1999, Korean students showed higher scores than the United States students in every sub‐type of paranormal beliefs except for religious belief. In 2009, Korean students showed higher scores in paranormal beliefs except for religiosity and spiritualism. The level of religious and non‐religious paranormal beliefs declined in both countries over the 10 years between the two testing periods and the decline was significantly steeper in Korea. The implications of these findings are discussed.
Abstract
South Korean and American college students are compared on paranormal beliefs. The surveys were administered twice, first in 1999 and then in 2009 both in Korea and in the United States. In 1999, Korean students showed higher scores than the United States students in every sub‐type of paranormal beliefs except for religious belief. In 2009, Korean students showed higher scores in paranormal beliefs except for religiosity and spiritualism. The level of religious and non‐religious paranormal beliefs declined in both countries over the 10 years between the two testing periods and the decline was significantly steeper in Korea. The implications of these findings are discussed.
