rightness and wrongness

Hi,
Is the use of "rightness and wrongness" correct in the following context?

"There are contradictory believes regarding the rightness or wrongness* of using these devices in the workplace. One important aspect of assessing *the rightness or wrongness of using these devices is the study of their impacts on communications, especially when a specific task requires people to hear and differentiate between different sounds, locate the sound source, and more specifically understand the human voice.

Thanks

Many thanks!
One more question. Can I use "contradictions" instead of "contradictory beliefs"? if not, what about "contradictory ideas"? Can I use "idea" instead of "belief" in that context?

Thanks again!
