138 university paid male volunteers were tested for 6 hr. and interviewed for 1. The measure of esthetic judgment was S's score on choosing the" correct" slide in 120 pairs of slides of works of art, ie, correct according to a group of" experts." Attempts were made to measure background in art, skill in perception of visual form, and finding human meaning in ambiguous stimuli. Also used were questionnaire measures of cognitive style, eg, tolerance of complexity. Other variables that later showed positive correlation with esthetic judgment included verbal aptitude and several measures of visual preferences. Although some findings which would make a more consistent picture are not significant," the results obtained are impressive…. Of special importance is the general pattern into which a number of findings fall, suggesting that good esthetic judgment is in large measure an outcome of a general cognitive approach to the world, an approach involving search for complex and novel experience."(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
