Some tests of the distinction between cognitive and affective beliefs

Article Abstract:

Five experiments were conducted to differentiate between the cognitive and affective determinants of attitudes. Both the first and second experiments used a traditional factor analytic paradigm in testing the effects of cognitive and affective beliefs. The third, fourth and fifth experiments tested specific effects of the associative hypothesis. Results indicate that people differentiate between cognitive and affective beliefs and form associations only among beliefs of a similar type.
