“…Some Values Cronbach' alpha reported to different scales are the following: Rational = .86 to .90, Rational Ability = .81 to .83, Rational Engagement = .78 to .82; Experiential = .79 to .91, Experiential Ability = .79, and Experiential Engagement = .74 to .84 (Björklund & Bäckstrom, 2008;Hodgkinson et al, 2009;Marks, Hine, Blore, & Phillips, 2008;Sladek, Bond, & Phillips, 2010;Witteman et al, 2009).…”

The Rational Experiential Inventory consist of two large scales (rational and experiential), each one with two subscales (ability and engagement). Their psychometric properties have been studied in several countries, but there are no reports in the Latin American context. In this study we analyzed the factor structure and internal consistency of the Rational Experiential Inventory, and assessed the relationships between processing styles and different personality dimensions in a sample of students from Argentina. The results show an underlying twofactor structure with good internal consistency values. Only one significant relationship between experiential style and extraversion was observed. A version with fewer items was attained and, due to its adequate psychometric properties, this instrument may be used in future research studies. Keywords: Experiential, rational, psychometric properties, personality dimensions. Estudio psicométrico del Rational Experiential Inventory en una muestra de estudiantes argentinosEl Rational Experiential Inventory comprende dos grandes escalas (racional y experiencial), cada una con dos subescalas (habilidad y preferencia). Sus propiedades psicométricas han sido estudiadas en varios países, sin existir, según nuestro conocimiento, estudios en el contexto Latinoamericano. En este estudio analizamos la estructura factorial y consistencia interna del Rational Experiential Inventory y evaluamos las relaciones entre los modos de procesamiento y distintas dimensiones de la personalidad en una muestra de estudiantes de Argentina.

“…Studies of different age groups (Marks et al, 2008;Pacini & Epstein, 1999) and across different cultures (Witteman et al, 2009) confirm the existence of the two thinking styles and their predictive validity. Therefore, it might be expected that preferred thinking styles may have a similar pattern of heritability to personality traits.…”

Genetic and environmental contributions to preferences for rational and experiential thinking were examined in 100 pairs of monozygotic and 73 pairs of same-sex dizygotic Australian twins. Univariate analyses for experiential thinking and working memory capacity (WMC) revealed genetic effects accounted for 44% and 39% of the variability respectively, with non-shared environmental effects accounting for the balance. For rational thinking, the univariate models produced ambiguous results about the relative roles of heritability and shared environment, but a subsequent Cholesky analysis suggested genetic effects accounted for 34%, with the balance, 66%, explained by the non-shared environment. The Cholesky analysis revealed that shared genetic effects accounted for 60%, and non-shared environment accounted for 40% of the relationship between preference for rational thinking and WMC.

“…For example, Shiloh et al (2002) found that intuitive thinking was negatively correlated with statistically based judgments in a college student sample. Similarly, Marks et al (2008) reported that intuitive thinking was associated with more superstitious beliefs and poorer reasoning abilities in an adolescent sample. In two separate studies, Klaczynski and colleagues (Klaczynski, Faust, & Swanger, 1998;Klaczynski, Gordon, & Fauth, 1997) found rational/intuitive personality style to be associated with critical thinking beliefs and reasoning in students.…”

“…Given the important role of intuition on clinical practice (Garb, 2005;Tversky & Kahnemann, 1984), we examined the relationship between critical thinking and an intuitive personality style characterized as "preconscious, rapid, automatic, holistic, primarily nonverbal, [and] intimately associated with affect" (Pacini & Epstein, 1999, p. 972). This intuitive personality style has been found to be negatively correlated with reasoning abilities (Marks, Hine, Blore, & Phillips, 2008;Shiloh, Salton, & Sharabi, 2002). Some clinicians view decision making based on intuition as an important and desirable aspect of the therapy process that should be actively fostered (Welling, 2005).…”

Critical thinking is assumed to be an important factor in the promotion of evidence-based treatment practices. However, little is known about attitudinal and other dispositional factors that may influence critical thinking in psychotherapists specifically. The aim of the current study was to identify factors associated with critical thinking abilities in psychotherapists. A total of 143 licensed psychotherapists completed an Internet-based survey that assessed their critical thinking ability. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that critical thinking ability was associated with theoretical orientation, reliance on intuition in decision-making, and endorsement of erroneous beliefs about health. Implications for improving critical thinking skills in psychotherapists are discussed.
