- Title
WHY HOROSCOPES ARE TRUE: THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFICITY ON ACCEPTANCE OF ASTROLOGICAL INTERPRETATIONS.
- Authors
Snyder, C. R.
- Abstract
This article focuses on horoscopes. Recently, a rebirth of interest in the field of astrology has occurred in western culture. Horoscopes appear in daily newspapers, and astrological books abound. Major universities have included astrology in their curricula and even clinical psychologists and psychiatrists have begun to contribute to the resurgence of astrology. The type of astrology involved in making judgments about an individual's personality is called natal astrology. A review of the relevant findings, however, generally shows no support for the contention that natal astrology relates to an individual's personality.
