Abstract
The concept of of was introduced by FrenkelBrunswick as a unifying term for a number of response characteristics of prejudiced individuals. Some of the in a study of social attitudes (0o) were observed to be unable to accept ambivalent feelings toward their parents or other individuals. From a series of related experiments (io) it was concluded that . . . denial of emotional ambivalence and intolerance of cognitive ambiguity (are) but different aspects of what may be a fairly coherent characteristic. An underlying emotional conflict between glorification and hostility in the attitude toward parents, sex and one's social identity .. . is related . . . to a prevalence of premature reduction of ambiguous cognitive patterns to certainty in these subjects (Io, p. 140). A number of investigations (1, 5, I 1, 14, 6) of the response characteristics of ethnocentric as compared to nonethnocentric individuals lend some support to this notion.
