Quick answer Why do young people like astrology? Archival data from the United States by Sales, published in 1973, recorded that interest in astrology in the press rose during periods with many threats, and the study by Lillqvist and Lindeman recorded that interest in astrology correlates with the number of personal crises. This is correlational evidence at level B, it cannot establish a causal relationship, and it cannot be extrapolated directly to young Vietnamese people.
