本研究探讨了工作记忆与开放和封闭信念系统的关系。200名大学生完成了一项工作记忆广度测试，以测量口头工作记忆和罗基奇的教条主义量表（1956年）。进行回归分析，以确定的贡献，口头工作记忆的教条主义。发现教条主义评分和工作记忆评分之间呈负相关（p= 0.002），证实了这样的假设：表现出较大工作记忆容量的参与者比表现出较小工作记忆容量的参与者表现出较低水平的教条主义信念。错误分析，以确定抑制过程的意义，表明语言工作记忆的能力限制，而不是处理缺陷，主要负责工作记忆成绩差。教条主义与性别、年龄、种族、宗教信仰、专业或教育水平无关。(C)2007年由Elsevier Inc.出版
This study investigated the relationship of working memory to open and closed belief systems. Two hundred college students completed a working memory span test to measure verbal working memory, and Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale (1956). Regression analysis was undertaken to determine the contribution of verbal working memory to dogmatism. A negative correlation was found between dogmatism scores and working memory scores (p=.002) confirming the hypothesis that those participants who display a larger working memory capacity would show lower levels of dogmatic beliefs than participants displaying a smaller working memory capacity. Error analysis was employed to determine the significance of inhibition processes; indicating that capacity limits in verbal working memory, and not processing deficits, were primarily responsible for poor working memory scores. Dogmatism was not found to be related to gender, age, ethnicity, religious affiliation, academic major, or level of education. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Inc.
