我们调查了美国和日本的棒球大联盟球员使用迷信行为的情况。这两个国家的大多数职业球员都报告说他们有迷信行为，但对这种行为实际上会影响比赛结果几乎没有信心。与不确定性假设相一致的是，越多的玩家相信运气会影响游戏结果，他们就越迷信。美国选手比日本选手更迷信。美国球员比日本球员更有可能相信他们的迷信有助于他们的个人表现，而日本球员比美国球员更有可能相信他们的迷信有助于球队的表现。
We examined the use of superstitious behavior by major league baseball players in the United States and Japan. The majority of professional players in both countries reported using superstitious behaviors but expressed little confidence that the behavior actually affected outcomes. Consistent with the uncertainty hypothesis, the more players believed luck affected outcomes during the game, the more they engaged in superstitious behavior. American players tended to be more superstitious than Japanese players. American players were more likely than the Japanese players to believe their superstitions aided their individual performance, whereas Japanese players were more likely than Americans to believe their superstitions helped the team performance.
