superstitious ideas, adults, the elderly, the city of RahatAbstract
The study aims to identify some superstitious ideas among a sample of adults and the elderly in southern Palestine and to explore the differences according to gender, age, economic level and professional status. To achieve these aims, a scale of superstitious ideas was constructed and developed, and its psychometric properties were calculated. The study used the descriptive analytical method. The sample consisted of 196 adults and aged people (94 males & 102 females), who were selected based on a simple random method from the city of Rahat beyond the Green Line. The study found that the spread of superstitious ideas was average. No differences were found due to gender, economic level, or professional status, but there were differences due to age. The results were discussed in light of previous studies and the theoretical framework, and some recommendations were proposed.
