Abstract
Abstract.— Relationships between certain cognitive behaviors within a political domain (i.e. Cognitive Differentiation, Cognitive Articulation) and certain dimensions of Socio‐Political ideology (General Conservatism, Political‐Economic Conservatism, Racism, Religion, Sexual Repression, and Authoritarian Aggression) were studied. Cognitive functioning was sampled via the use of uni‐ and multidimensional scaling analyses, with the stimuli consisting of Swedish political parties. Socio‐Political ideology was defined by: (1) the S, Conservatism Scale and (2) the subjects' political party preferences. The subjects consisted of 105 psychology students from the University of Stockholm. The results showed that: (a) there were statistically significant relationships among the various indices of cognitive functioning based upon independent methods of assessment, and (b) there were statistically significant relationships between a number of cognitive functioning indices and certain dimensions of Socio‐Political ideology. The results are discussed in terms of three hypotheses concerning the connection between Socio‐Political ideology and certain forms of cognitive behavior.
