Dogmatism and Attitudes

Abstract
Dogmatism was related to several attitudes for male and female college students. Political conservatism and reported church attendance were positively related to dogmatism for both sexes. Attitude toward marijuana, characteristics attributed to a “good professor,” reasons for attending college, and test anxiety were only partly related to dogmatism, or for only one sex. Hypotheses are offered about some of the unexpected data. The complexity of the data suggests that dogmatism should be related to several variables, rather than one or two, in future samples studied.
