A questionaire survey was conducted among three groups: 26 Ph. D faculty and
graduate students in a university Psychology Department; 59 graduate students
enrolled in an NDEA Guidance Institute; and 259 members of the National In-
vestigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). It was hypothesized
that there would be no differences between the scores of the three groups on
the Personal Attitude Survey (Form D, Dogmatism Scale, Rokeach, 1960) and
the Scientific Attitude Survey (Sprinkle, 1962). Results showed significant
differences (P < . 001) between the three groups with respect to their mean
scores on both inventories, with the NICAP group scoring higher on both "dog-
matic" and "scientific" inventories, followed by the guidance group and the
psychology group, respectively. Investigation was supported by Grants-in-
Aid Committee, Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (a division
of the American Psychological Association).

Attempts to answer certain questions relating to the UFO problem: (1) what is
happening, how did it begin, what do we know up to the moment?; (2) are we
be~ studied by non-earthly visitors, or are all UFOs natural phenomena we
don t uncterstand?; (3) is there really a conspiracy to conceal the truth from
the public, and if so, who is responsible, and what is the motive for the con-
cealment?; (4) what reasons are there for thinking intelligent life may exist
elsewhere in our solar system, or in other similar systems nearby in our
galaxy?; (5) if other intelligent life does exist, what are the chances of their
contacting us, or vice versa?; (6) will a real scientifil: attack on the UFOprob-
lem provide us with a definite solution?
