Thirty postgraduate students, 15 males and 15 females, acted as subjects. Each subject, seated in a chair in an upright posture in a dark room, was instructed to set a luminescent rod to the apparent vertical under three visual field conditions: (a) Rod Only, (b) Rod in Circle, and (c) Rod in Square. In an analysis of variance of the deviations of the apparent from its objective position, “Initial Starting Positions of the Rod,” “Sex x Positioning of the Rod being either Clockwise or Counterclockwise by Fields,” and the error component, “Within group subjects x Fields,” were found to be significant effects. Results are interpreted that in the event of nonexcitation or deficient adaptation to postural cues, articulateness of the field generates sex differences, taken to be an index of the presence of cognitive styles. A proposal for a new test of field dependence-independence has been formulated
