Humans don’t do it, but we surely BELIEVE that we do.

Abstract

Questionnaires sent to 325 people indicated that 140 people (43{9f43b4361d9a125bc126dd2a2d1949be02545ec69880430bc4fed2272fd72da3}) held the personal belief that lunar phenomena alter individual behavior. Specifically, mental health professionals (social workers, master’s clinical psychologists, nurses’ aides, LPNs) held this belief more strongly than other occupational groups.
