    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Dogmatism, hostility, and aggression are complex psychological constructs.
    • Understanding their interrelationships is crucial for personality and social psychology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationships between dogmatism, hostility, and aggression.
    • To examine these relationships separately for males and females.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized D Scale, Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory, Megargee Overcontrolled Hostility Inventory, Gough-Sanford Rigidity Scale, and Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale.
    • Administered to 74 male and 109 female college students.

    Main Results:

    • Significant positive relationships found between dogmatism and hostility for both genders (p < .001).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Males exhibited a significant negative relationship between dogmatism and overcontrolled hostility (p < .05).
  • Dogmatism did not correlate with social desirability; rigidity and dogmatism represent distinct personality constellations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dogmatic individuals tend to be pervasively hostile.
    • Males may integrate aggressive behaviors more readily into personality patterns.
    • Guilt is associated with disaffected patterns like dogmatism, hostility, and aggression, indicating inward-turned anger.
