TLDR

"Both studies confirmed the REI’s reliability and validity, showing distinct NFC and FI factors, with FI driving heuristic processing and both scales differentially predicting personality, adjustment, achievement, and relationships." Keep one sentence. Other: Only content: "Cacioppo & R.E. Petty, 1982" Actually the Other line is just "Cacioppo & R.E." Wait: The Other line: "[Other] Cacioppo & R.E." That seems incomplete. It's just a citation?

Abstract

Two studies provide evidence for the reliability and validity of a new self-report measure of individual differences in intuitive-experiential and analytical-rational thinking based on cognitive-experiential self-theory (CEST). The Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI) was constructed to measure the 2 independent processing modes with a modified Need for Cognition Scale (NFC, J.T. Cacioppo & R.E. Petty, 1982) and a new scale, Faith in Intuition (FI). In Study 1, a factor analysis yielded 2 orthogonal factors corresponding to NFC and FI. Although heuristic processing was determined primarily by FI, NFC also contributed to heuristic responding, in line with CEST. The relation of FI and NFC to coping ability also was examined. In Study 2, the factor structure of the REI was replicated (N = 973). NFC and FI were differentially related to measures of personality, adjustment, achievement, and interpersonal relations.
