Creationism, Cult Archaeology, and Other Pseudoscientific Beliefs: A Study of College Students.

Eve, Raymond A.; Harrold, Francis B.

Youth and Society, v17 n4 p396-95 Jun 1986

Prevalence and distribution of certain pseudoscientific beliefs held by college students about human origins and prehistory were studied at a large, southwestern public university. Creationist beliefs were associated with religious and social conservatism. Pseudoarchaeological beliefs were somewhat related to age and locus of control, but not strongly related to other factors studies. (MCK)
