Differences between Field Dependent and Field Independent personalities.

Field Dependent vs. Field Independent Personalities:
Field Dependent individuals rely on external cues and context, often seeking social approval. They are more sensitive to the environment and may struggle with tasks in ambiguous situations. Field Independent individuals, on the other hand, are more self-reliant, focusing on internal cues and maintaining independence from external influences. They tend to excel in analytical tasks and are less affected by social context. These cognitive styles, identified by Witkin, highlight contrasting approaches to information processing and problem-solving, illustrating the variation in how individuals perceive and interact with their surroundings based on their Field Dependent or Field Independent orientation.
