It was predicted that those participants who experienced discontinuity (death, divorce, and separations) from their parent(s) in childhood and who had successful careers in adulthood would manifest more innovative than adaptive cognitive styles on the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory. The original research showed 61% of the sample members ( n = 41) experienced family discontinuity. Ninety percent ( n = 37) of the previous participants responded and showed 59% family discontinuity. Fifty-four percent in the follow-up study chose an alternative career path (counterstriving), the same percentage as in the original sample. When both family discontinuity and counterstriving were present, statistically significant innovation scores occurred. Family discontinuity in childhood and a successful career in adulthood are likely to be associated with high striving-motivation and an innovative (paradigm-breaking) problem-solving style.

The objective of the research was aimed at finding out whether there is effect of the environmental education learning package and cognitive style on environmental problem solving skills. This research conducted was exsperiment methode. The target of population is the students at the Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the State University of Jakarta. Then accessible of population is Department of Chemistry and take it by randomly (n=40).The research came five conclusions are follow: the first, as a whole the ability of students problem-solving learning environment in an integrated package of environmental education is high than the monolithic environmental education learning package; the second, the ability of students problem-solving learning environment in field independent style cognitive is not high than the field dependent style cognitive; the third, interaction effect between learning and cognitive styles environmental education package; the fourth, the ability of students to solve environmental problems based on cognitive style of field dependent on an integrated learning package environmental education lower than on learning environmental education monolithic package, and the five, there is the ability of students to solve environmental problems based on field independent cognitive styles in an integrated learning package environmental education is high than on learning environmental education monolithic package.

Abstract Collaborative problem solving can be successful or counterproductive. The performance of collaborative teams depends not only on team members’ abilities, but also on their cognitive styles. Cognitive style measures differences in problem-solving behavior: how people generate solutions, manage structure, and interact. While teamwork and problem solving have been studied separately, their interactions are less understood. This paper introduces the KAI Agent-Based Organizational Optimization Model (KABOOM), the first model to simulate cognitive style in collaborative problem solving. KABOOM simulates the performance of teams of agents with heterogeneous cognitive styles on two contextualized design problems. Results demonstrate that, depending on the problem, certain cognitive styles may be more effective than others. Also, intentionally aligning agents’ cognitive styles with their roles can improve team performance. These experiments demonstrate that KABOOM is a useful tool for studying the effects of cognitive style on collaborative problem solving.

The present study assessed the interaction and cognitive styles that were associated with different levels of negative affect for husbands and wives. Without an observer present, 28 couples audiotaped problem-solving discussions in the home. Each spouse also filled out questionnaires measuring the extent to which they viewed their relationship as a resource for helping them with problems. The audiotapes were coded using the Couple's Interaction Scoring System (CISS) and then subjected to a series of proportional, sequential, and bivariate time-series analyses dyad by dyad. The results indicated that wives' negative affect was directly related to their attempts to confront the problem and enforce their own views (e.g., metacommunication, counterproposals, appeals), and was inversely related to their attempts to be conciliatory (e.g., agreement, mind reading with neutral voice tone). Husbands' negative affect was inversely related to both spouses' attempts to be conciliatory (agreement, proposals, contracting), and to the wives' viewing the relationship as a resource for helping them with their problems.
