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.
