Title: Cognitive differentiation and affective stimulus value in vocational judgments
Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between cognitive differentiation level and the affective stimulus value of various occupations. Previous research in the area of clinical and social judgment has shown that subjects used more cognitive constructs when judging persons with negative stimulus value (i.e., persons they disliked) than when judging persons with positive stimulus value (whom the subjects liked). The findings of the present investigation, conducted with upper-class college males, were consistent with the findings obtained in the clinical and social judgment studies. That is, subjects were cognitively more differentiated when judging occupations they disliked than when judging occupations they liked.
