ABSTRACT
ISee, for example, E. Frenkel-Brunswik, "Intolerance of ambiguity as an emotional and perceptual personality variable," Journal of Personality, Vol. 18, 1949, pp. 108-43. A more recent article, by V. Hamilton, "Perceptual and Personality Dynamics in Reactions to Ambiguity," British Journal of Psychology, Vol. 48, 1957, pp. 200-15, has a fairly complete bibliography of psychological literature on this subject. This experimental work has not, of course, focussed upon criteria of reasonable choice, but upon individual differences in response to ambiguity, and related personality structures: e.g., correlates of willingness to recognize, and report, ambiguity.
