Do you believe that constellations can affect personality?

Can constellations affect people's personality?

According to astrological legends, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius in the twelve constellations are extroverted constellations, and people in extroverted constellations are extroverted; Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces are introverted constellations, and introverts are introverted. In addition, people in three earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) can maintain emotional stability and peace of mind, while people in three water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) are relatively more neurotic, and their emotions and mentality are more prone to fluctuations.

So is this really the case?

Hans, a famous psychologist and the main contributor to modern personality science theory? Professor Eysenck decided to talk to the British astrologer Jeff? Mayo collaborated on a psychological experiment. A few years ago, Mayo opened an astrology college with students from all over the world. They selected more than 2000 students to investigate. The students provided their birth dates and completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.

The result is beyond everyone's expectation! The personality characteristics of these people are completely consistent with the personality description of the constellation!

Amid the cheers of astrology, Eysenck himself began to doubt it. He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the sample selection of the experiment: he chose a group of people who believed in constellations to do the experiment, and these people were installed with a mental model about constellation personality determinism. In their inner world, constellations and personalities are related.

With this in mind, Eysenck made the next experiment: the object of the experiment was 1000 children, who had almost never heard of the relationship between personality and constellation. This time, the survey results have undergone a subversive change: children's scores in extroversion and neuroticism have nothing to do with their horoscopes. Personality has nothing to do with the constellation!

The experimental results have dealt a severe blow to astrology. Psychologists who were once considered as "spokesmen and protectors of astrology" suddenly turned against each other. In this regard, astrology gives its own explanation: these children have not yet developed into the personality endowed by their horoscopes.

In response to this counterattack, Eysenck made a third experiment: this time he chose adults as the subjects of investigation. These interviewees have different understanding of astrology. It is found that if the respondents are fully aware of the influence of constellations on their personality, their questionnaire results are very consistent with astrological legends. On the contrary, if the respondents don't know much about astrology, their questionnaire results are not so consistent with the legend of astrology.

At this point, the conclusion of the experiment is quite clear: people will gradually develop into that personality because of their understanding of astrology and their belief in "constellation personality". The mental model of the constellation-personality not only allows them to see the world, but also makes them believe that it is their own personality, and then live according to that personality, and finally really become the person described by the constellation.
