Abstract
This study examines relationship between authoritarianism, conservatism, dogmatism, intolerance of ambiguity and probabilistic thinking. By probabilistic thinking we mean tendency to adopt a probabilistic set, discrimination of uncertainty, and ability to express that uncertainty meaningfully either verbally or as a numerical probability. From orthodox conceptualizations of personality/cognitive measures one would anticipate strong relationships between these measures and our own various measures of probabilistic thinking. present study makes it clear that such relationships may not be present.
