Summary

Studied were hypothesized relationships between the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory and scales measuring dogmatism, sensation seeking, risk taking, and innovation. Ss were 106 (54 male and 52 female) undergraduates who described themselves by using five sociopsychological scales. Overall, the hypothesized relationships were confirmed: KAI scores were negatively correlated with dogmatism and positively correlated with sensation seeking, risk taking, and innovation. The results provided additional insight into cognitive styles as well as positive evidence for the nomological and convergent validity of the Kirton theory and scale.
