The Belief in Good Luck Scale
Darke and Freedman describe the construction of the Belief in Good Luck Scale across several studies. They report reliable individual differences in how far people see luck as a stable force that favours them, scores that held when a subset of students retook the scale one to two months later, and a belief that is distinct from optimism, self-esteem, desire for control, achievement motivation, feeling fortunate and life satisfaction. It was related to the chance part of a locus-of-control measure. About half of 231 science centre visitors called themselves lucky, and higher scorers held more positive expectations for everyday luck-related events.
