Rigidity and conformity tendencies of judges and their utilization of autobiographical material in making predictions.

Abstract

Using the California F Scale and Sanford and Wesley's Rigidity Scale, Ss' rigidity was positively related to a change in predicting Guilford's STDCR responses from the 1st ½ and the complete autobiography. Accuracy of the less rigid Ss tended to improve. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
