Individual Differences in Cognitive Interaction

Abstract

Subjects rated a set of attitude profiles on four behavior differential scales--'like,' 'accept as an intimate friend,' 'gossip with,' and 'criticize.' Each profile represented a hypothetical person's attitudes toward church, capital punishment, drinking and college fraternities. The subjects' attitudes toward the same four objects were measured. Several models of cognitive interaction were used to predict each subject's responses. No single model was adequate to account for the judgments of all subjects. The results suggest that there are important individual differences in style of cognitive interaction.
