Effects of Birth Order, Sex, and Astrological Sign on Personality

Abstract

Birth order has been extensively investigated; however, few studies have been cross-cultural in nature and fewer still have investigated specific familial forms. The present study explored birth order and belief in astrology in Australian and American students. No comparisons were significant, but belief in astrology was associated with higher Extraversion scores. More students in both countries believed in astrology than those who did not.
