extremism theory, and (c) context theory. The subjects consisted of 195 Swedish high school students from five different high schools in greater Stockholm. The results showed no index convergence for the concepts of cognitive complexity and cognitive flexibility although general construct validity was found for the cognitive assessments instruments used. The results also revealed that four dimensions of sociopolitical ideology (general conservatism, racism, sexual repression, and authoritarian aggression) showed weak but statistically reliable relationships to cognitive flexibility and cognitive complexity from one cognitive assessment instrument. The nature of the results gave strong support to authoritarian personality theory and partial support to context theory. No support could be found for the extremism theory
