Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Dogmatism represents an individual difference in cognitive style characterized by closed-mindedness. The concept of dogmatism has received a great deal of research attention in such topics as information selection, information processing, message selection, and the source-message distinction. Shearman and Levine (2003) pointed out limitations and psychometric problems of the scale, updated the dogmatism scale, and provided tentative evidence for construct validity. The present study examines two types of validity of the scale; construct validity and concurrent predictive validity. The correlation analyses between theoretically related scales provided stronger evidence for the construct validity. The updated dogmatism correlated positively with dominance and submission, and negatively with perspective-taking and empathic concern. As predicted, the updated dogmatism correlated negatively with the ratio of con reason generation to pro reason, while it did not correlate with the linguistic markers for dogmatism, or the generation of distributive conflict strategy selection. The predictive validity of the scale was only partially supported.
