Abstract
No evidence was found for convergent validity of three measures of cognitive complexity administered to 39 Ss. While males scored higher on a measure of complexity based on structural relations between constructs, females showed a tendency for higher scores on measures involving verbal differentiation. The relation of complexity to affective orientation is discussed by reference to the concept of specialization.Keywords
