Conceptual/Integrative Complexity.
Suedfeld, Peter, Philip E. Tetlock, and Sally Streufert. "Conceptual/Integrative Complexity." In Motivation and Personality: Handbook of Thematic Content Analysis, edited by Charles P. Smith et al., 393–400. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992.
Why this matters here
Peter Suedfeld, Philip E. Tetlock, and Sally Streufert’s chapter on conceptual/integrative complexity defines how fully people differentiate multiple perspectives and integrate them in judgment. Trust Beyond Similarity uses higher complexity as the discipline of holding more than one real value and piece of evidence without collapsing conflict into simple opposition—while noting that pressure often punishes that complexity. The source defines and operationalizes integrative complexity; the book asks what trust across difference requires when conflict rewards simplification.
