الملخص EN

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between intellectual Extremism on the one hand, and Identity Ego,Cognitive flexibility, Locus of control , Irrational belifes, Metacognitive belifes..

Research sample consisted of 193 1st–year students at Prince Sattam Bin Abdelaziz University Faculty of Education in Waddi Addwasser during the academic year 2016-2017.

The researcher used the following scales: (1) intellectual Extremism Scale,; (2) Identity Ego Scale; (3)Cognitive Flexibility Scale;Locus Of Control Scale;Irrational Beliefs Scale and (4) Metacognive Beliefs Scale, translated by the First researchers.The two researcher used also a number of statistical methods such as correlation coefficients, multiple regression analysis, and path analysis.

The results of the study found that the values of the correlation coefficients between intellectual extremism and ego identity, cognitive flexibility, locus of control, irrational beliefs, and meta-cognitive beliefs came to 0.01.

The results also revealed the possibility of predicting intellectual extremism through some dimensions of irrational beliefs (Emotional irresponsibility,Rigidity, Demand for approval), and some dimensions of the Meta- cognitive beliefs (negative beliefs about the inability to control ideas and danger, cognitive confidence).

The results of the study also revealed the possibility of predicting intellectual extremism through the variables of flexibility, External control , Ego identity (The Diffusion and Foreclosure).

The results of the study also revealed a path analysis model showing the statistically significant pathways between these variables and the Intellectual Extremism supported by the results of the previous studies and the results of the multiple regression analysis in the two to sixth hypothese.
