Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to characterize the believers of fortune telling. Believers was describe in terms of four areas, namely: (1) The demographic and psychological profile, (2) fortune telling method the believers predominantly subscribe to, )3) objectives of the believers for consulting and lastly, (4) the extent to which they abide to the advices given to them. A survey was employed to 90 participants (42 males, 48 females) with ages raging from 20-65 years old. The results show that males and females cater to fortune telling and yet most of the participants have internal locus of control. The method mostly preferred is palmistry. Reason for consulting is to help them understand things and give them control over their lives. Main issue early adults consult is about love life, for middel adults, they are concern with business and family matters. Both groups do not have full compliance to the advices given to them.
