Abstract
Belief in superstition was investigated for 348 university students. Today's beliefs seem less concerned with deterministic viewpoints of life, animistic roles of nature, and supernatural happenings, but more inclined towards personal manifestations. Although comparisons with other studies over a 50-yr. interval suggested changes in strengths of support for these beliefs, the inclusion and endorsement of sport by females best exemplified the changing nature of superstition in society. Now it appears that the school rather than home environment provides the source for these beliefs.
