Sprinkle, R. Leo. Personal and sci£ntific attitudes: a survey of persons interested
in UFO reports. Laramie, Wyoming, The Author, 1968. 11 p.
A questionnaire survey on attitudes towards UFOs was conducted among three
groups: 26 Ph. D. faculty and graduate students in a university Psychology
Departme11t; 59 graduate students enrolled in a NDEA Guidance Institute; and
259 members of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena
(NICAP). It was hypothesized that there would be no differences between the
scores of the three groups on foe Personal Attitude Sur.vey (Form D. Dogmatism
Scale, Rokeach, 1960) and the Scientific Attitudes Survey (Sprinkle, 1962).
Results showed significant differences (P:> 0. 001) between the thr£:e group::; with
respect to their mean scores on both inventories, with the NI CAP group
scoring higher on both "dogmatic" and "scientific'' inventories, followed by
the guidance group and the psychology group, respecti·1ely. Investigation was
supported by Grants-in-Air Committee, Scoiety for the Psychological Study of
Social Issues (a division of the American Psychological Association).
