This study investigated integrative complexity toward research and teaching in a sample of scientists (99 full professors of physics, chemistry, and biology). Findings from objective, observer, peer, and self-report data suggested that although scientists who think complexly about research are seen by others as hostile and exploitative, are rated by peers as eminent, and have their work frequently cited, scientists who think complexly about teaching are seen by others as warm and gregarious and are not well cited by their peers. Furthermore, these relationships were moderated by scientific discipline, with physicists differing from biologists
