摘要: Abstract It has been suggested that Pellegrini's finding of a strong correlation between astrological birth sign and the Femininity scale California Psychological Inventory (CPI) may be mediated by climatic variables during pregnancy. The present study tested season hypothesis with 615 South African college students simply replicating in southern hemisphere, where seasons are reverse those northern hemisphere. No significant relationship was found birthdate any scales CPI, thus both “theories” personality were rejected.
