Visual dependency in the erect and supine positions

Abstract

Examined the field dependency-independency of 37 Ss under supine and erect body position. Females were more field dependent than males. No significant differences were found between male pilots and nonpilots. Males exhibited greater field dependency in the supine position. Results suggest the need to consider 3 separate measures of field dependency-slope, breakpoint, and variability. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
