Cognitive structure and attitudinal affect

Cognitive structure and attitudinal affect 3 hypotheses concerning the relationships between attitude toward an object and beliefs about that object were tested. 117 Ss were given a questionnaire designed to elicit attitudes towards allowing members of the Communist party to address the public. Several weeks later each S took a card sorting test designed to elicit the importance of certain values as a source of satisfaction and whether the values tend to be blocked by the attitude object. The hypotheses were confirmed, and "some of the data were interpreted as suggesting that "value importance' and "perceived instrumentality' are separate and possibly manipulable dimensions of attitude-related cognitive structures." http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Abnormal Psychology American Psychological Association

Abstract

3 hypotheses concerning the relationships between attitude toward an object and beliefs about that object were tested. 117 Ss were given a questionnaire designed to elicit attitudes towards allowing members of the Communist party to address the public. Several weeks later each S took a card sorting test designed to elicit the importance of certain values as a source of satisfaction and whether the values tend to be blocked by the attitude object. The hypotheses were confirmed, and "some of the data were interpreted as suggesting that "value importance' and "perceived instrumentality' are separate and possibly manipulable dimensions of attitude-related cognitive structures."
