Examined, in 3 separate studies, certain theoretical similarities in Sherif and Hovland's work on assimilation and contrast effects in social judgment and that of Rokeach on belief-disbelief systems. Utilizing 80-84 Ss in each study, the correlations of dogmatism level with latitudes of acceptance, rejection, and noncommitment, and with extremity of S's own position were obtained. Dogmatism was positively correlated with extremity of own position, negatively correlated with the range of latitude of rejection, and unrelated to the range of latitude of acceptance. The results at least partially support the contention that latitudes of acceptance and rejection are concepts theoretically and operationally analogous to the organization of the belief-disbelief dimension described by Rokeach.
