Abstract
A “balanced” Dogmatism scale was produced by writing entirely new items to express sentiments opposed to those accepted by the archetypical Dogmatic. These items are not reversals of old ones. The scale of 36 items showed a reliability of .91 on the standardization (student) sample and .78 on an adult community sample. Validity was demonstrated for the scale as a whole and for the two halves separately.Keywords
