Impact of Paranormal Beliefs on Spiritual Wellbeing of Young Adults

Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of paranormal beliefs on the spiritual well- being (SWB) of young adults in India. Analyzed were the data from 149 individuals, which were acquired through Google Forms, considering ethical rules and reliable scales. The study utilized the Revised Paranormal Beliefs Scale and the Spiritual Wellbeing Scale, specifically targeting persons between the ages of 18 and 30. Utilizing IBM SPSS, a quantitative study demonstrated a statistically significant positive connection between paranormal beliefs and spiritual well-being (SWB) at a significance level of p < 0.05. However, the impact of PB on SWB was found to be minimal, accounting for just 5%. There was no statistically significant difference between genders in terms of paranormal beliefs or spiritual well-being (SWB) respectively among young adults. These findings emphasize the complex connection between paranormal beliefs and spiritual well-being (SWB) among young adults.
