Assyrians do, whenever something "bad" happens to an individual they blame it on the "eye" of one who is jealous. Assyrians are very superstitious and religious at the same time. :)

Many Italians do, especially the older generations.
They do many things to prevent the evil eye (which is really jealosy).
They carry a small sack of salt.
They drop oil in boiling water to see how it coagulates, and then say some words to stop the hex.
They use the index finger and the pinky finger to form "Horns", and sometimes point them at a would-be evil eye.
They wear the same thing on their neck, or just a red bull horn.
I'm sure there's much more they do.

Most older generation Hispanics do. However the new generation is not superstitious.

People believe what's convenient for them. But Jesus
mentions the "evil eye" in the Book.

I don't think chinese do. They'll usually go "bai-sun" in which they make offerings to their ancestors for luck and protection. And they keep the sign of luck on their door upside-down to welcome it in year round.
