According to the study, women believing more in astrology could be considered a side effect of a male-dominated society, the Mashable reported.
Dr. Phil Zuckerman, an author and sociology professor at Pitzer College, stated that since men tend to globally dominate roles associated with power and privilege, women accepted the psychological comfort and institutional support of religion.
