The relationship between flexibility (as measured by the flexibility scale of the California Psychological Inventory) and satisfaction with college major was examined for 73 social science and 4S natural science students. It was predicted that those social science students who were most satisfied with their college major would be more flexible than those who were least satisfied, but those natural science students who were most satisfied with their major would be less flexible than their relatively dissatisfied classmates. It was also predicted that social science students would, as a group, be more flexible than natural science students. The results confirmed both predictions.
