摘要

Previous investigators of extraterrestrial beliefs have relied on single-itemscales, which limit the researchers' understanding of such beliefs. The present authors reportresponses to a 37-item scale about extraterrestrial beliefs from 320 participants in Austriaand 257 participants in Britain. A factor analysis revealed 3 primary factors that werestable across sites: (a) belief that extraterrestrial life has visited Earth and that governmentalagencies have knowledge of this fact, (b) scientific search for extraterrestrial life, and (c)general beliefs about the existence of extraterrestrial life. Participants rated only Factor 3positively, suggesting that there is a distinction between paranormal-related beliefs andscience-related beliefs. The authors found only political orientation and religiosity to besignificantly correlated with factor scores. They discuss their results in relation to previousreports of extraterrestrial beliefs.
