Abstract:
The relationship between dogmatism and the nonrecognition of perceptual ambiguity was investigated in 84 male and female colloge students. Significant but small nagative correlations were found between Rokeach's Dogmatism scale and two indicators of perceptual ambiguity: Necker cube perspective reversals and binocular retinal rivalry alternations in dominance. The nonrecognition of perceptual ambiguity was discussed within a psychoanalytic ego defense framework.
