- Matching familiar figures)

Field Dependent/Independent (

Witkin

- embedded figures)Slide11

Impulsive/Reflective

Matching Familiar Figures – (MFF)

Jerome

Kagan

– 1965

Based on time to react

Slower, more accurate = reflective

Faster, less accurate = impulsiveSlide12

Field Dependent/Independent

Embedded Figures Test – (EFT)

Herman

Witkin

– 1950’sSlide13
Slide14

Field Dependent

has trouble finding geometric shape embedded in background = very interpersonal, reads social cues well, openly convey own feelings. Women more likely field dependentSlide15

Field independent

– readily finds geometric shape regardless of background = has internal frame of reference, imposes own sense of order on situation lacking structure, impersonal and task oriented, separate own self identity from field. Men frequently field independent.Slide16
