Why people are hooked on horoscopes

Article Category: Self Help

Author Name: Ingvar Grimsmo

If you are reading a newspaper and are inexplicably drawn to the horoscope page, never fear. You are acting same as any normal individual who wants to find something unique about him by reading a generalized piece of prediction.

Think about it. There are millions of people that were born at the same day, even at the precise moment. Finding personal meaning from a short description meant for so many people may seem stupid, but psychology actually has an explanation. It is called the Barnum Effect.

In 1948, psychologist Bertram Forer conducted an experiment to test how people read personal meaning out of a broad account. He gave his students a personality test, asking them to rate whether the results were accurate to their character. In fact, the result given for each student were identical, but surprisingly, they evaluated it as a brilliant portrayal of themselves.

The discovery of the Barnum effect may have paved the way for our credence to horoscopes for today. Writers have benefited from on our human trait to constantly find something distinctive in our existence.

The word "horoscope" is derived from a Greek word that means "to tell the time." During the ancient times, early people had used horoscopes to divide time into years, months and so on. Kings had dwelled on the stars countless of times to discover whether each year would be favourable to their empire.

In 1950s, horoscopes have begun invading the US. Horoscopes for today have the power to make us decide whether we will be lucky or not throughout the day . Many of us also use these as basis for determining the best houses to buy, and the kind of jobs we should take.

About 70 per cent of data from daily horoscopes are positive, based on a study from the University of Wisconsin. People tend to want to read optimistic write-ups about themselves. Such is our nature as humans.

According to Susan Blackmore, a psychologist who has studied the effects of horoscopes on relationships of women, horoscopes have the capacity to encourage followers to kowtow to their signs. She discovered that they can twist a woman's personality by conforming to what they say.

There is an unexplainable allure on horoscopes for today as they give meaning to an otherwise random episode in our lives. They provide us the comfort of explanation why such events happen. Even hundreds of years ago, humans had the tendency to locate patterns in the sky that would give them clues on how to survive.

Gerard Miller, a psychoanalyst, perhaps gave the best reason on why people continually trust in the power of horoscopes. According to him, there is something in each of us that is superstitious that cannot be convinced by reasons or logic.

The only drawback to relying on horoscopes is when it begins dictating our every move and decision. Once it provokes us to disregard certain facets of our persona, it now becomes a liability. Too much reliance to a thing is never right.
