Why you're more likely to believe in the star charts if you're a narcissist, by ArashEmamzadeh

Before discussing the results, I should make clear that for many people, learning about astrology and astrological charts is a harmless hobby. For some, however, astrology is a deeply held belief. These individuals spend much time reading horoscopes and may spend a lot of money consulting astrologers and other diviners or fortune-tellers.

An additional finding was that intelligent people were less likely to believe in astrology, whereas agreeable ones were more likely to believe in it. The reviewed study had a number of limitations, such as a lack of random sampling, participants being mainly young women, and the use of mostly shortened versions of the scales. Therefore, future research needs to replicate the present findings. Until then, we should refrain from drawing strong conclusions about belief in astrology and its association with higher narcissism and lower intelligence.

Nevertheless, as the authors argue, this is an important area of research, since belief in astrology may be correlated with belief in other pseudosciences and even conspiracy theories.
