The relation of reflection-impulsivity to field dependence-independence and internal-external control in children. 1975

D J Massari

First- and third-grade black children were administered Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test, Karp and Konstadt's Children's Embedded Figures Test (CEFT), and Shore, Milgram, and Malasky's Locus of Control Interview (LCI). It was hypothesized that reflective children would be (a) more field-independent and (b) more internal than their impulsive counterparts. The first hypothesis was supported and discussed in terms of the task demands of the CEFT. The failure to find strong support for the second hypothesis was attributed to the generalized nature of the LCI.
