Abstract
The present research was undertaken to determine the relationship between dogmatism and achievement as determined by Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale and the Ai scale on the California Psychological Inventory. For 49 female and 17 male undergraduate students, the inverse moderate correlation of −.49 was significant, suggesting that high scores on the Ai scale represent open-mindedness and low scores on the dogmatism scale represent the same. This pattern is consistent when men and women were considered separately.
