Validity of the Cognitive Style Index: Replication and Extension
用超过一千名被试重复验证了《认知风格指数》的结构效度和同时效度，发现其与另一种风格测量无关联，且风格与性别无关但与职位级别有关，还提示香港与英国小企业主可能存在差异。
Allinson and Hayes (1996) in the reporting of a new measure, the Cognitive Style Index , made a plea for replication and extension of their work. Using a sample of over one thousand subjects the present study investigated the CSI ÃÂÃÂs construct and concurrent validity. A maximum likelihood factor analysis obtained broadly similar results to those of Allinson and Hayes. No relationship was observed between the CSI and an alternative measure of style (the Cognitive Styles Analysis ). It is argued that cognitive style is independent of gender but that style is related to job level (lower scores were associated with increased seniority). Some evidence was presented which suggests there may be differences in cognitive style between Hong Kong and UK small business owner managers
