The Role of Individual Differences in Field Dependence as a Factor in Learning to Label Facial Emotions.

Stickle, Fred; Pellegreno, Dominick

Psychology: A Quarterly Journal of Human Behavior, v23 n2-3 p47-54 1986

Examined ability of Field-dependent/Field-independent high school students (N=56) to label correctly nonverbal stimuli of facial affect utilizing the Group Embedded Figures test and Pictures of Facial Affect. Treatment subjects identified and practiced facial expressions of emotions. When Intelligence Quotient (IQ) was controlled for, the significant relationship between posttest scores and field-dependency lost significance. (Author/KS)
