I don't believe a general statement of less volatility can be made. I believe the individual stock must be looked at on its own merit.
Example, Johnson Controls has been VOLATILE and pays a dividend... Growth and increasing dividends are perhaps the answer. Imagine just reinvesting dividends over the last years = $$$$. Pick a different stock and get a different result. 20/20 hindsight

What is the investor's goal/intent?
Perhaps obtain critical mass, dividends pay enough each year to cover expenses and have a little left over.
"Critical mass is a sociodynamic term to describe the existence of sufficient momentum in a social system such that the momentum becomes self-sustaining and creates further growth." http://en.wikipedia.org/

Some believe that a "quality" stock with a dividend is "safer". Earn a dividend while you wait, as some say. The ability to pay a dividend, some say, proves the company has "extra" money. Of course, some reduce or stop the dividend.
With the above said... I posted the filter with the dividend requirement to have it there... to see what was returned.
Feel free to adapt as your style requires.
Food for thought...
