TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Aggression in a prison setting as a function of lunar phases JO - Psychological reports A1 - Simon, A. SP - 747 EP - 752 VL - 82 IS - 3 N2 - Previous studies of the possible effects of the moon's phases upon human behavior initially yielded contradictory results and later more consistently negative results. The present study capitalized on a captive deviant sample prone to aggression, one of the earlier targeted behaviors. A Pearson correlation between number of reported incidents in a Texas prison and the amount of lunar luminosity (lunar phases) yielded no significant correlation.
