Frequency of College Students' Night-Sky Watching Behaviors
Kelly, William E.; Kelly, Kathryn E.; Batey, Jason
College Student Journal, v40 n1 p166-168 Mar 2006
College students (N = 112) completed the Noctcaelador Inventory, a measure of psychological attachment to the night-sky, and estimated various night-sky watching related activities: frequency and duration of night-sky watching, astro-tourism, ownership of night-sky viewing equipment, and attendance of observatories or planetariums. The results indicated that a substantial percentage of the sample (62.5%) purposefully looked the night-sky at least once per week. An average of 19.6% indicated engaging in some form of astro-tourism, owning night-sky viewing equipment (i.e., telescopes), and attendance of planetariums or observatories. All variables were significantly related to scores on the Noctcaelador Inventory.
