The Dogmatism Scale and 13 personality tests measuring authoritarianism, rigidity, neuroticism,and extremeness were administered to 250 male and female students at the University of Cairo, Egypt, to investigate whether there are any differences in dogmatism and its underlying personality characteristics associated with the Egyptian culture in comparison with the American and English cultures. The Egyptian mean dogmatism score was larger than the comparable means obtained for American and English college students (p less than .001). However, with use of Hotelling factor analysis and the varimax orthogonal rotation method, dogmatism was found to be almost independent of the rigidity and extremeness scores, indicating that in cultures where strength of believing can be considered a part of the socially accepted norms (e.g., Arab Eastern cultures), dogmatism rests on different cognitive and personality processes than in the West.
对埃及开罗大学的250名男女学生进行了教条主义量表以及13项测量权威主义、僵化、神经质和极端性的人格测试，以调查与美国和英国文化相比，教条主义及其潜在人格特征在埃及文化中是否存在差异。埃及教条主义的平均得分高于美国和英国大学生的可比平均分（p小于0.001）。然而，通过使用霍特林因子分析和方差最大化正交旋转法，发现教条主义几乎与僵化和极端性得分无关，这表明在那些信仰强度可被视为社会公认规范一部分的文化中（例如阿拉伯东方文化），教条主义基于与西方不同的认知和人格过程。
