“…It is possible that some people think or perceive events more globally because they prefer novel to familiar events, whereas others think or perceive events more locally because they prefer familiar to novel events. Such tendencies may develop as personality characteristics (see Klein, 1951; Vallacher & Wegner, 1989).…”

Novelty Categorization Theory (NCT) attempts to predict when people perceive events as novel and how they process novel events across different domains. It is predicted that broad mental categories reduce the perception of an event being novel via inclusion processes, whereas narrow categories increase it via exclusion processes. Furthermore, based on a ‘motive to know’, when preparing for novel events, people broaden both perception and mental categories, because to understand novel information, it is essential to integrate it into pre‐existing knowledge structures that are sufficiently broad. Over time, a ‘when‐novel‐then‐process‐globally’ routine develops that is automatically elicited when novelty is encountered. Self‐protective motives can, however, counteract such processing styles so that threatening novelty leads to local processing. Relations to construal level theory and action identification theory and implications for future research are discussed.

“…The notion of individual differences in cognitive style has its origins in research on perceptual psychology conducted in the 1950s (Holzman & Klein, ; Klein, ; Witkin, ; Witkin, Lewis, Hertzman, Machover, Meissner, & Wapner, ). The approach of these researchers was to isolate common patterns of adaptation to the external environment by examining, for example, a person's ability to separate geometrical figures from their surrounding context (see Kozhevnikov, , for a review).…”

Over 50 years of research on cognitive style has converged on the importance of individual differences in use of intuition and analysis. This program of research is characterized, however, by two incompatible perspectives about the relation between intuition and analysis. The distinction concerns whether intuition and analysis are opposite poles of a single dimension or whether they are orthogonal constructs. Two studies report meta‐analytic investigations of the relation between intuition and analysis. A meta‐analysis of the existing research base (k = 80; n = 27 501) showed that intuition and analysis are uncorrelated. A second meta‐analysis of combinations of subscales from different cognitive style measures (n = 511) supported the results of the first meta‐analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis also supported the existence of two uncorrelated constructs. Overall, the findings support the view that intuition and analysis are independent constructs, rather than opposite ends of a bipolar continuum. In addition, the findings suggest measures of analysis or rationality are not interchangeable. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Some of the implications of this for dream formation and the general problem of emotional adaptation were explored by Fisher. Burner, 11 Klein,40 Witkin, 89 and others have also demonstrated that conscious and unconscious motivations, as well as certain unconsciously operating personality factors, play a critical role in the process of perception. In a recent study of a mathematician, Victor Rosen 72 was able to demonstrate the role of unconscious emotional factors in the solution of problems of higher mathematics, emphasizing the need to consider these processes in the study of seemingly pure intellectual problems.…”
