    Field-independence in the Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT) is linked to mobility, while field-dependence is linked to fixity. Stability in field-independence during the RFT-Process is crucial for high mobility.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Science
    • Perception

    Background:

    • The classic Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT) measures field-independence but doesn't capture stylistic preferences like mobility-fixity.
    • Understanding the relationship between ability and style in field-dependence/independence is important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the connection between mobility-fixity and ability aspects of field-dependence/independence.
    • To compare data from two RFT versions to differentiate between ability and style.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized two RFT versions: RFT-Free (free adjustment) and RFT-Process (process-oriented adaptation analysis).
    • Defined mobility-fixity based on rod position changes and nongeometrical position preference in RFT-Free.
    • Assessed 38 female and 23 male university students.

    Main Results:

    • Field-independent individuals showed more rod position changes and preferred nongeometrical positions more in RFT-Free.
    • Field-independent subjects with stable RFT-Process performance exhibited greater preference for varied nongeometrical positions in RFT-Free.
    • Women were more field-dependent than men in RFT-Process, with no sex differences in RFT-Free choices.

    Conclusions:

    • Field-independence is associated with mobility, and field-dependence with fixity, as indicated by RFT-Free variables.
    • Relative stability of field-independence during RFT-Process is a prerequisite for high mobility.
    • Findings offer theoretical insights into the multifaceted nature of field-dependence/independence.
