Two hundred nineteen male and female college students returned questionnaire measures relating to cognitive complexity, dogmatism, and repression-sensitization. Analyses revealed very complex interactions among the variables. Highly dogmatic repressors were low in cognitive complexity, and open- minded sensitizers were high in cognitive complexity. Ss exhibiting other combinations of dogmatism and repression-sensitization (e.g., highly dogmatic sensitizers, open-minded repressors) were moderate in cognitive complexity. Many of the conclusions about the behavioral correlates of cognitive complexity, dogmatism, and repression-sensitization may be confounded if these variables are not conjointly assessed.
219名男女大学生返回了与认知复杂性、教条主义和压抑-敏感化相关的问卷测量结果。分析揭示了这些变量之间非常复杂的相互作用。高度教条的压抑者认知复杂性较低，思想开放的敏感者认知复杂性较高。表现出教条主义和压抑-敏感化其他组合的受试者（如高度教条的敏感者、思想开放的压抑者）认知复杂性中等。如果不联合评估这些变量，许多关于认知复杂性、教条主义和压抑-敏感化行为相关性的结论可能会混淆。
