Dogmatism and Personal Sexual Attitudes

The relation between dogmatism as measured by high and low Dogmatism scores and sexual attitudes as measured by an original Sexual Attitude Survey was determined. Ss were 192 male and 188 female university students. High-dogmatic males were found to be more sexually conservative than low-dogmatic males. There was no difference in conservatism of sexual attitudes between high-dogmatic and low-dogmatic females. Male Ss, as expected, were significantly more sexually liberal than female Ss.
