    This study found no link between cognitive styles like field independence and defense mechanisms, and lateral eye movements. Hemispheric lateralization was not associated with these psychological traits.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Previous research suggests a link between cognitive styles and lateral eye movements.
    • Hysterical and obsessive personality styles are associated with specific lateral eye movement directions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between field independence, defense mechanisms, and lateral eye movements.
    • To determine if field independence and defense clustering correlate with hemispheric lateralization.

    Main Methods:

    • Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI) was used to measure defense clustering.
    • Lateral eye movements were recorded in subjects previously classified as hysterical or obsessive.
    • Field independence was assessed in relation to defense mechanisms and eye movements.

    Main Results:

    • No significant relationship was found between field independence and defense clustering.
    • No correlation was observed between defense clustering and lateral eye movements.
    • No association was found between field independence and lateral eye movements.

    Conclusions:

    • Field independence and defense clustering are not related to hemispheric lateralization as indicated by lateral eye movements.
    • The findings suggest that cognitive styles and defense mechanisms do not influence hemispheric activation patterns in this context.
