Correlates of Attitudes about “The Right to Die” among 1973 and 1976 High School and College Students
Attitudes about “the right to die” were studied among high school and college students at three recent points in time. A general item about the right to decide between life and death, and a specific one about that right for the terminally ill were accepted by more than half the students; both were more accepted than an item rejecting life after death. All three items were related to beliefs about religion, abortion, teenage birth control, and the…
On Different Relationships between Dogmatism and Machiavellianism among Male and Female College Students
A brief dogmatism scale and the Kiddie Machiavellianism Scale were answered by 112 male and 83 female students. The men's Mach scores were higher than the women's. The correlation between dogmatism and Mach— was not significant in either sex; in contrast, the correlation between dogmatism and Mach+ was significant for both sexes, r being significantly greater for the women than for the men. Agreement response set therefore seemed to be involved i…
In Pursuit of a Dogmatism Factor
159 high school students, 125 introductory psychology students, and 59 senior psychology majors answered a questionnaire measuring dogmatism and derogation of others. Derogation was correlated with total dogmatism among the high school and introductory psychology students, and among all groups with 2 of the 6 dogmatism factors measured, “alienation” and belief in one truth. rs were low. Agreement with the items expressing mainly “aloneness” was t…
Dogmatism, Dogmatism Factors, and Liberalism-Conservatism
Dogmatism scores, dogmatism factor scores, and two indices of liberalism-conservatism were interrelated for 78 male students, 89 female students, 108 of their fathers, and 138 of their mothers. The six major dogmatism factors found in the literature were belief in one truth, belief in a cause, alienation, virtuous self-denial, self-proselytization, and authoritarianism; the content of the items measuring the factor usually called “alienation” sug…
Alienation, Liberalism-Conservatism, and Presidential Preference
Family Patterns in Liberalism-Conservatism
On the Appeal of Rizzo and Longstreth
To investigate the construct “liberalism-conservatism” on several issues and in two samples, student and middle-aged Rizzo and Longstreth supporters were asked to answer a questionnaire about the college environment. On at least 15 of 16 questions and in both samples, the Longstreth supporters answered more “liberally” than the Rizzo supporters. The Longstreth supporters also were more “liberal” than the Rizzo supporters in their presidential pre…
Dogmatism and Attitudes
Dogmatism was related to several attitudes for male and female college students. Political conservatism and reported church attendance were positively related to dogmatism for both sexes. Attitude toward marijuana, characteristics attributed to a “good professor,” reasons for attending college, and test anxiety were only partly related to dogmatism, or for only one sex. Hypotheses are offered about some of the unexpected data. The complexity of t…
On Measuring a Complex Attitude
Responses to an attitude-toward-psychology scale became more favorable during a 1-yr. introductory course, with greater change for “fact” than “opinion” items. Thus, responses may reflect both “favorability toward psychology” and “critical thinking about psychology,” but these constructs are confounded in the scale. An open-ended format may better depict the attitudinal complexity developed during the course
Attitudes toward Cheating
College freshmen were given one of two questionnaires, which asked how justified cheating would be in each of 32 situations. In one questionnaire, the situational variables were the interest level of the course, the meaningfulness of the tests, their difficulty, the teaching of the professor, and whether he leaves or stays during tests. In the other questionnaire, the variables were the warmth of the professor, the frequency with which he discove…
