We accounted for significant judgment variance, and the three methods of cue scaling produced roughly equivalent results. Research on sexual harassment will continue with new and different tasks. A biodata questionnaire was developed for assessing demographic and biographical variables potentially related to analytical and intuitive styles of cognition. The 195 items assess individual differences concerning exposure to science, math, and fine arts, tolerance for uncertainty, tolerance for ambiguity, and decision style. Biodata questionnaires were completed by 378 students representing more than 34 majors within several colleges.
Results indicate individual differences in styles of cognition for the study participants.
These individual differences were related to biodata variables. Researchers from around the world will be able to access the SJDN over the World Wide Web, borrowing task materials for research and instructional purposes. In turn, hopefully these researchers will contribute their data sets to the SJDN for use by other researchers and their students. Tom and I are now working out details for recommended formatting and cataloging of task materials and data sets. Anyone interested in receiving a copy of our proposal, and helping with this effort, should contact one of us.
