Rokeach’s final Dogmatism Scale abandoned most of his own theoretical model

Evidence

Rokeach chose the D Scale from eighty-seven statements he wrote to tap the many elements of his model. The final version (which we saw shortchanged almost all of the model) contains “quite a strange collection of items that cover a lot of territory and appear on the surface to be unrelated to each other” (Rokeach, 1960, p. 90). — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2548
