Intolerance
of Ambiguity and Response to Attitude Similarity-Dissimilarity
J. Pandey & R. Rastogi |
The
present experiment was designed to explore the question of whether
or not intolerance of ambiguity is a necessary concomitant of the
similarity-attraction effect. Thirty two subjects participated in
a 2 (two levels of intolerance of ambiguity) X 2 (two levels of attitude
similarity) factorial design experiment. With respect to the responses
to the IJS items and the summed measure of attraction, main effects
for similarity were found significant on all items with the exception
of morality item. Intolerance of ambiguity has no influence on the
basic similarity-attraction relationship.
