Dogmatism and sensory alienation: An empirical investigation

  • This study was designed to investigate certain aspects of the concept of >alienation< as employed by Fromm. Using Fromm's framework and suggestions offered by Schachtel concerning inherent autocentrism and allocentrism in various sensory modalities, it was hypothesized that: (a) dogmatism as measured by Rokeach's scale and adequacy on sensory discrimination tasks would vary negatively with each other and (b) differences between dogmatic and nondogmatic individuals would be more pronounced in their performances utilizing predominantly autocentric modes than on tasks involving essentially allocentric modalities. Sensory discrimination was assessed by requiring Ss to match and/or differentiate between stimuli in 5 areas. 13 dogmatic and 13 nondogmatic Ss (controlling other relevant variables) served as populations. Data obtained supported the hypotheses at least at the 5% level.
