A Comparison of Two Kinds of Dogmatism Scores: Rokeach Categories Versus Open-Ended Responses
1a Rutgers-The State University , USA.
Abstract:
College students responded to 11 Dogmatism Scale items both with the categories used by Rokeach ("agree very much" to "disagree very much") and with open-ended comments. The latter were coded and scored, and the two sets of dogmatism scores were then correlated with each other and with attitudes hypothesized to be related to dogmatism. The Rokeach and coded dogmatism scores showed equally low but significant correlations with attitudes. The dogmatism scores were significantly correlated with each other; the students' open-ended responses fit Rokeach's theory well and did not suggest any new aspects of dogmatism. The data provide further evidence for the construct validity of Rokeach's scale.
