Two ways to be complex and why they matter: Implications for attitude strength and lying.

Abstract: Integrative complexity broadly measures the structural complexity of statements. This breadth, although beneficial in multiple ways, can potentially hamper the development of specific theories. In response, the authors developed a model of complex thinking, focusing on 2 different ways that people can be complex within the integrative complexity system and subsequently developed measurements of each of these 2 routes: Dialectical complexity focuses on a dialectical tension between 2 or more competing perspecti… Show more

“…Other less direct work demonstrates that extremists (a category that is arguably inclusive of terrorists -more on this later) tend to be less integratively complex than their moderate counterparts (e.g., Tetlock et al, 1994; but see Conway et al, 2008;Van Heil & Mervielde, 2003).…”

“…While this breadth contains many strengths, it also can cause some limitations when it comes to understanding why a passage is complex. In response to these limitations, Conway et al (2008) proposed two additional sub-constructs called elaborative complexity and dialectical complexity. As elaborative and dialectical complexity are part of the integrative complexity construct, they are scored on the same 1 to 7 scale.…”

“…It can be further subdivided into two aspects: dialectic complexity, the awareness that concepts can be considered from more than one point of view, and elaboration, the awareness that concepts can contain more than one simple idea [17]. Integrative complexity is measured on a 7 point scale; its usefulness has been considerably advanced by the development of an automatic scoring algorithm which we use here [18].…”
