                    %COGNITIVE AFFECTIVE CONGRUENCE 800904

     Objective  scientists  seek  to  develop a congruence
between   their  mental  processes---and   the   objective
processes relating objects  which are independent of their
mental processes.   There is an inherent lack of  symmetry
in  their  objective;   their  mental  processes  are  not
independent  of the objective processes outside of them as
persons,   but  they presume that the objective  processes
outside  of  them as persons are independent of the mental
processes  inside them as persons.   This lack of symmetry
is   in  contrast  to  the  devotion  to  symmetry   which
characterizes  their  most highly  developed  theories  of
elementary   processes   regarding  the  most   elementary
constituents   of  objective  realities.    Thus  at   the
cognitive level there is a lack of congruence  between the
ideals of  the  theory the elementary constituents and the
ideals  regarding the relationships  between scientists as
persons  and  the objective of their analysis.  There is a
lack  of mutuality in the relationships between scientists
as persons and the objects of their analysis.


     This lack of congruence is found in the relationships
between  the  various ways of coping which are  chosen  by
scientists within various contexts.   As persons they make
value  judgments  regarding which mode of coping  is  most
appropriate in each context---and often contend that their
value judgments properly exclude other complimentary modes
of coping,  feeling there can be only one right answer  to
each question.  Such exclusivity impoverishes their lives,
limiting them to primarily cognitive relationships.  Their
cognitive lives are not congruent with their emotional and
affective lives.  They do not value emotional openness and
honesty  as  highly  as  cognitive  openness and  honesty.
Scientists'   cognitive processes are not  congruent  with
their  emotional and affective lives as persons  who  cope
according to desires,   instincts,   and passions   in   a
common-sensibly  understood  world   of interacting   sub-
cultures.  The lack of congruence undermines the integrity
of   their   total  effort. Scientists do not value highly
enough the human need to be free---and to  have  the right
to be open and honest emotionally and affectively, as well
as   cognitively.   Communication freedoms too often  take
second place.
