Revised Paranormal Belief Scale

The Revised Paranormal Belief Scale (Tobacyk, 2004) is the standard measure of paranormal belief: 26 statements across seven areas (traditional religious belief, psi, witchcraft, superstition, spiritualism, extraordinary life forms, precognition), rated on a 7-point agree–disagree scale. Percentiles are from 3,744 UK adults and students (Drinkwater et al., 2017). The extraordinary-life-forms subscale is the least reliable (α = .54), because belief in life on other planets is mainstream and behaves differently from the cryptid items.
