Abstract
For 40 male undergraduate students, rank-order correlations were calculated between scores on the Affect-Cognition Scale, a measure of the conceptualization and differentiation of statements about emotion, and scores on measures of cognitive complexity, dogmatism, field independence, originality, verbal intelligence, and social desirability. This research and Zimring, et al.'s (1970) suggest this scale also measures a process involving the apprehension and selection of incoming information and the ability to create meaning out of these stimuli. Because these properties are involved in many aspects of human functioning, the scale may have considerable utility.
