49 paranormal healers working by laying-on of hands (direct healing) and healing at a distance were compared with 56 nurses and a control group of 73 randomly selected persons on their locus of control and especially on the subscale Powerful Others of Levenson.

This finding may be associated with the dependent position of paranormal healers since their profession is tolerated by medical doctors and the law.
