Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Dear Shri Matriyog ji, Thank you for your interest in research papers in astrology. I shall be more than glad to send you the full research papers. In this mail, I am only posting the abstracts and article details of 3 articles for the benefit of all our group members. As soon as Punit Ji gives me a nod I shall forward him the full PDF versions of the articles for uploading in the file section of our group. Thanks for your kind interest. Regards, Andrew Psychology Science, Volume 45, 2003 (1), p. 78-91 Is it all written in the stars? A methodological commentary on Sachs’ astrology monograph and re-analyses of his data on crime statistics ALEXANDER VON EYE 1 (VIRGO), FRIEDRICH LÖSEL 2 (LEO), RONI MAYZER 3 (CAPRICORN) Summary In his monograph “Die Akte Astrologie” [“The Astrology Dossier”], Sachs (1999) claims that statistically signifi cant relationships exist between signs of the Zodiac and behavior. The author presents these relationships in the form of local associations in contingency tables that cross the signs of the Zodiac and numerous behavior categories from statistical registers of Switzerland. As one example, we discuss and re-analyze his data on astrology and crime that, according to Sachs, demonstrate a clear relationship. Although Sachs’ methods are largely transparent, his conclusions are not valid. The main reasons for this lack of validity are that the analyses capitalize on chance and fail to take into account the mutual dependency of statistical tests performed on the same data. Our re-analyses of Sachs’ data on criminal convictions and the signs of the Zodiac using (1) Confi gural Frequency Analysis and (2) two-way cluster analysis suggest that the conclusions drawn in the monograph are untenable. Statistical and substantive aspects of our results are discussed.
