Experimenters' expectancy did not influence sex differences in field dependence. This study found no significant performance differences between men and women on the Rod and Frame Test and Embedded Figures Test.

Area of Science:

Cognitive Psychology
Perception Psychology

Background:

Previous research suggested potential sex differences in field dependence.
The role of experimenter expectancy in these findings was unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate if experimenter expectancy influences sex differences in field dependence.
To examine performance on the Rod and Frame Test and Embedded Figures Test.

Main Methods:

Three pairs of student-experimenters were used.
Experimenters received varied information regarding expected sex differences.
Performance on the Rod and Frame Test and Embedded Figures Test was assessed.

Main Results:

No evidence of an experimenter expectancy effect was found.

Related Experiment Videos

No significant performance differences were observed between men and women.

Conclusions:

Experimenter expectancy does not appear to account for previously reported sex differences in field dependence.
Men and women performed similarly on these measures of field dependence.
