Abstract:
The present study aimed to identify the impact of belief in Astrology and its relation with Locus of Control (LOC) and intolerance of uncertainty among young adults. Methodology: The study participants included 250 participants aged 18-25 from India. The tools used were the Belief in Astrology Inventory (BAI), Levenson Multidimensional Locus of Control Scales, and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12), respectively. The statistical correlation technique was used to assess the relationship between all the variables, the t-test evaluated the gender differences in belief in astrology, and regression analysis was used to understand the impact of belief in astrology on the other variables. The findings indicate a negative relationship between belief in astrology and Locus of control (Internality), a positive relationship between belief in astrology and Locus of Control (Chance), and a positive relationship between belief in astrology and intolerance of uncertainty. In females and males, there was no significant gender difference in belief in astrology. Finally, in terms of impact, belief in astrology had a minimal impact on variables as a locus of control and intolerance of uncertainty. The study's results provide an impetus to pursue further belief in astrology and how it could influence various facets of people's lives.
