Abstract
20 Ss, 10 Jewish and 10 Catholic, were exposed to a stereoscopic task and a test of open-mindedness. The stereoscopic task involved a series of 22 slides pairing Jewish and Catholic symbols, words and pictures, exposed under conditions of conflict thus calling for some form of binocular resolution by Ss. The test of open-mindedness was Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale, Form E. There was a statistically significant tendency to report seeing material related to one's own religion. This may be expressed in the form of a point biserial correlation coefficient of .95 (p < .001). There was a significant correlation between open-mindedness and the tendency to report seeing material associated with the “other” religion (r = .40, p < .025).Keywords
