| Abstract: | Summary . This study replicated a study published over 40 years ago which was itself replicated just over 30 years ago concerning students' beliefs about human nature. Despite the fact that subjects were younger and of a lower educational attainment in this study than subjects in previous studies they tended on the whole to get more “correct” answers. Other studies looking at changing beliefs and superstitions over time are considered. |
