Two Measures

31 males and 64 females ranging in age from 16 to 90 yr. volunteered to take Heim's AH4 intelligence test, the Group Embedded Figures Test of field dependence, and two measures of aerial photographic interpretation. In stepwise multiple regression analyses, intelligence and field independence contributed most to performance on the two aerial photographic interpretation tests. Sex-related differences were found for the McDonald Aerial Photo Feature Identification Test but not for the Avery Visual Search Test.

The One

To study the function of personality variables in the perception of other people, 52 undergraduate males were administered the Philosophies of Human Nature Scale and the Embedded-figures Test. Relatively low but significant positive correlations were found between field independence and trustworthiness, altruism, and the positive view of human nature. There was no significant correlation between field independence and strength of will, independence, complexity, and variability. Apparently, the personality of the one perceiving is relevant to what is perceived in the other person.

56 high school students were administered the Group Embedded Figures Test and the Pictures of Facial Affect. A low Pearson product-moment correlation of .02 was obtained between the measures. Data indicated that field-dependent and field-independent individuals were not significantly different in their skills of labeling pictures of facial affect.

Opposite Sex

Bieri (1960) suggested that, particularly for males, the combined unconventionality of low acceptance of authority and greater perceived similarity to the opposite sexed parent would be associated with high field independence. This study challenged that argument suggesting that a mixture of conventional and unconventional personality variables, i.e., low acceptance of authority, same sex parental similarity or high acceptance of authority, opposite sex similarity, would be associated with higher field independence than consistently conventional or unconventional combinations of variables. 66 female and 57 male students completed an embedded-figures test, an acceptance of authority scale, and a semantic differential measure of perceived similarity to parents. The hypothesis was confirmed for males but not females. There were strong differences between these results and those obtained by Bieri with comparable measures.

The present study examined psychometric and normative data for a sample of 259 public high school sophomores (122 boys and 137 girls) who had been administered the Group Embedded Figures Test. For the combined group a Spearman-Brown coefficient of internal consistency of .88 was obtained between Sections 2 and 3 of the test. The present sample was significantly more field-dependent than the normative groups reported by other investigators, and no sex differences was observed with respect to field dependence/field independence. It is recommended that test time for administration of this instrument be extended to 6 min. for each section for samples of high school age.

Group Embedded Figures Test

Extensive previous research suggests that the cognitive style of field-independence/field-dependence has important implications for teaching and guidance. However, studies of the validity of group-administered measures which can be used with younger children are limited. The present study assessed the feasibility of using a widely recognized style measure, the Group Embedded Figures Test, with 45 fourth-, 42 fifth-, and 42 sixth-graders. The results were generally favorable with respect to the test's applicability to these age groups.

Pemilihan model atau metode pembelajaran yang sesuai untuk materi pelajaran tertentu, karakteristik materi pelajaran, dan karakteristik peserta didik (gaya kognitif) terhadap pencapaian hasil belajar. Penelitian eksperimen ini dengan desain treatment by level 2x2. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu 2 kelas eksperimen dan 2 kelas kontrol, masing-masing kelas berjumlah 38 peserta didik baik dari SMP Negeri 17 Surabaya maupun dari SMP Negeri 16 Surabaya, yang secara empirik dipandang cukup homogen serta memiliki karakter yang relatif sama. Instrumen yang digunakan terdiri dari 2 instrumen yaitu (1) instrumen untuk mengukur gaya kognitif dan (2) instrumen untuk mengukur hasil belajar. Instrumen yang pertama adalah Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) untuk mengukur gaya kognitif, sedangkan instrument yang kedua adalah tes pengetahuan awal (pre-test) dan setelah perlakuan (post-test) yang terdiri dari 20 soal pilihan ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai probabilitas signifikansi  <  0,05 maka kesimpulan H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima. Hal ini terbukti;  (1) Ada perbedaan antara model pembelajaran pratikum melalui pendekatan discovery berbasis inkuiri dengan model pembelajaran pratikum tanpa melalui pendekatan discovery berbasis inkuiri pada materi sistem gerak pada manusia terhadap hasil belajar kelas 8 pada tahun pelajaran 2018-2019 di SMP Negeri 17 dan SMP Negeri 16 Surabaya; (2) Ada perbedaan antara gaya kognitif tinggi atau field Independence (FI) dan gaya kognitif rendah atau dependence (FD) pada materi sistem gerak pada manusia terhadap hasil belajar kelas 8 pada tahun pelajaran 2018-2019 di SMP Negeri 17 dan SMP Negeri 16 Surabaya; (3) Ada interaksi antara model pembelajaran pratikum melalui pendekatan discovery berbasis inkuiri dan gaya kognitif terhadap hasil belajar kelas 8 pada tahun pelajaran 2018-2019 di SMP Negeri 17 dan SMP Negeri 16 Surabaya.

Second Year

Contrary to Witkin's opinion, field-dependent individuals are expected to show higher stability of self-view than field-independent individuals. 73 Belgian second-year university students were submitted to the Group Embedded Figures Test. The Five Personality Factor Test measuring extraversion, friendliness, emotional instability, conscientiousness and general culture, was administered to each student for self-description (self-report) and to both parents for description of the student (mother's report and father's report). The decrease of correlation between self-report and parent's report as a function of the degree of student's field-independence supports the authors' hypothesis. Results are interpreted in terms of closer attention of field-independent individuals to relevant cues.

Two experiments were conducted to explain the sex difference in field independence by reference to socialization factors. It was hypothesized that the sex-role appropriateness of the task as masculine- or feminine-typed would influence the performance of masculine and feminine women in a manner congruent with their sex-role orientation. 28 pilot subjects and 100 subjects in Study 2 were equally divided between the sexes. Both studies used the Bern Sex-role Inventory, but different versions of the Embedded Figures Test. The over-all results suggested that feminine women varied their performance according to task appropriateness, although not always in a manner congruent with their sex-role orientation. Androgynous individuals and masculine men did not alter their performance.

Female Subjects

21 female subjects from a psychiatric population scoring high on one of two MMPI scales, Hysteria or Psychasthenia, were given Jackson's (1956) shortened version of the Embedded Figures Test. Hysteria correlates positively and significantly .71 with time spent in detecting embedded geometric figures. Obsessive-compulsiveness and Embedded Figures Test performance time are negatively correlated —.63. The average times were 102.5 sec. for hysteria subjects and 62.6 sec. for psychasthenia subjects. Chi-squared establishes the significant association of MMPI measurements for hysteria and obsessive-compulsiveness with field-dependence and field-independence, respectively.

A strong positive correlation obtained between field independence (Witkin's Embedded Figures Test), and reading grade achievement. Identification of individual perceptual styles before initiating reading instruction seems justifiable for optimum results.
