q1 i? The more individuals rely on and reinforce one way of thinking over any other, the more narrow and rigid their viewpoint becomes and the less able they are to understand or adopt an opposite style. → Cameron 1984

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the chapter's theoretical argument about cognitive styles, supported by reference to an extensive literature (Kolb, McKenney and Keen, and others) rather than by new data reported here. No effect size is printed.

"The more stylistic individuals become in their information processing patterns (i.e.the more they rely on and rein- force one way of thinking over any other), the more narrow and rigid becomes their viewpoint."
