Abstract | Four-hundred and nine students (grades 8, 10, 12 and 14) were given logical syllogism problems of the form "If p...then q" along with tests of dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity. Aptitude scores were also obtained. Major results indicated that expressed dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity were negatively correlated with syllogistic reasoning for subjects in each grade, although general aptitude accounted for most of the variance. All 14th graders were significantly less dogmatic and more tolerant of ambiguity, but there was no consistent developmental trend across the other grades. The Dogmatism Scale, Intolerance of Ambiguity Scales and the Deductive Reasoning Test used in this study are contained in the Appendix. (Author/MLP) |
