Abstract
To Nixon's test of 30 rather common superstitions and prejudices, 10 others were added to make the total of 40 presented to two groups of students at the beginning and close of a course in psychology. The average superstitions in a liberal arts course group were less than in the evening course group of executives and skilled workers. In the results, the superstitions of each class were less after the course in psychology than at the beginning of the course. The better students had slightly less superstitions at the beginning of the course, but their advantages stand out in the amount by which they reduced these prejudices. The article includes a copy of the test presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
