Presentation by Nick Campion (University of Wales, Lampeter) in the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series

Normal figures for belief in astrology hover around 25% of the adult population and are usually based on Gallup polls. However, like all statistics, these depend on the manner in which questions are asked. The evidence suggests that levels of belief are much higher than Gallup suggests - perhaps 60% or above - if different questions are posed. This talk will examine the latest data and question whether the notion of ‘belief’ is responsible for distortions in the figures.
