abstract="Gender differences in belief in scientifically unsubstantiated phenomena are reported for 246 male and 326 female Canadian undergraduate and graduate students in science, psychology, and nonscience programs. Females were more likely than males to endorse belief in various scientifically unsubstantiated phenomena. Males, however, were more willing to endorse belief in unidentified flying objects. These gender differences were not found in the samples of nonscience undergraduate students. Nonscience males showed the same high levels of belief as the females. The gender differences were also absent in the science program graduate students, where females had the same low levels of belief as the males.
