Full Moon 2019: Does the Full Moon have an effect on humans?


A common myth surrounding the arrival of a Full Moon is that of so-called lunar lunacy or the Lunar Effect.

The word lunatic itself is derived from the Latin word for Moon – Luna – and lunacy in this sense can be understood as being moonstruck.

But an extensive study on the effects of a Full Moon published in 1985 challenged the wide held belief.

The study in the Psychological Bulletin looked at 37 case studies to determine whether a link exists between behaviour and the Moon’s appearance.

The study’s authors James Rotton and W.I. Kelly could not find any concrete links between a Full Moon and human behaviour.
