^aValues above the diagonal indicate coefficients for Japanese sample, and values below the diagonal indicates coefficients for Western sample.

The coefficients shown in bold face were significant at p < .05. All scales except subscales of AHS (Cause and Contra; seven-point) are five-point scales. DT_PA, Dialectic Thinking score for paranormal items; DT_PS, Dialectic Thinking score for pseudoscience items.
