People born in summer have a sunnier outlook than those born in colder months, the results of a survey show.
People who took part in the survey gave their birthdates and rated the degree to which they saw themselves as lucky or unlucky. The poll found there was a summer-winter divide between people born from March to August and those born from September to February.
Those who were born in May were the most likely to consider themselves lucky while those born in October had the most negative view of their lives.

Normally I'd laugh at such ridiculous time wasting and almost irrelevant research, but it's true with everyone I've met so far, as I can recall - the only exception being my dad. However, it can have negative outcomes:
"Some people understand luck as a personal quality that can be used to maximize outcomes. Thus, lucky people might be prone to acting impulsively."
The more they believe they are lucky, the less they think they have to worry about negative outcomes.

Heh, I thought that too. But give them some leeway - they're researching Psychology, and they are "scientists" after all.

Was born on Smarch the 13th :\ oh well doesn't matter to me this stuff.
"They showed 50% of people born in May considered themselves lucky, while this figure dropped to 43% in October."
Its hardly a groundbreaking difference. How they make a whole story of this is beyond me.
