Tobacyk, Jerome J.; Pirttila-Backman, Anna-Maija
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v23 n1 p59-71 Mar 1992
Compares 117 Finnish and 351 southern U.S. college students for the following: (1) paranormal beliefs; (2) personality adjustment constructs (anomie, death concerns, alienation, and death threat); and (3) relationships between the beliefs and constructs. The secularization process, further advanced in Finland than the United States, moderates these relationships. (SLD)
