Are Epistemological Beliefs Similar across Domains?
Schommer, Marlene; Walker, Kiersten
Journal of Educational Psychology, v87 n3 p424-32 Sep 1995
College students in 2 studies (n=95 and 114) completed an epistemological questionnaire with a specific domain in mind (social sciences or mathematics), read a passage, answered a passage test, and completed another epistemological questionnaire. Results supported the idea that individuals' epistemological beliefs tended to be domain independent. (SLD)
