TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Astrological signs and personality in Kuwaitis and Americans JO - Psychological reports A1 - Abdel-Khalek, Ahmed M. A1 - Lester, David SP - 602 EP - 607 VL - 98 IS - 2 N2 - Samples of Kuwaiti (N=460) and American (N=273) undergraduates responded to six personality questionnaires to assess optimism, pessimism, suicidal ideation, ego-grasping, death anxiety, general anxiety, and obssessive-compulsiveness. Each participant was assigned to the astrological sign associated with date of birth. One-way analyses of variance yielded nonsignificant F ratios for all the seven scales in both Kuwaiti and American samples, except for anxiety scores among Americans. It was concluded that there was little support for an association between astrological sun signs and scores on the present personality scales.
