Abstract
Injury data were analyzed to determine if any relationship existed between the dates of injury occurrences and the varying positions of the moon. Since the analysis of injury data from a single construction project yielded inconclusive results, a larger sample was sought. Data were obtained on all industrial injuries that were reported to the Missouri Division of Worker’s Compensation in the years 1980 and 1981. The analysis of these injuries showed that there is no discernable pattern of injury occurrence relative to the lunar cycle.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
