Abstract: | "The question of whether rigidity effects tend to be generalized throughout most aspects of the individual's mental behavior remains confused. The present study can only be said to have added to the negative side of the argument… . Perhaps the strongest features of the experimental design reported here are the close controls inherent in individual testing and the use of very similar tasks. If evidence of a general trait is not observable in these procedures, it is difficult to maintain expectations of discovering such evidence elsewhere."
