Description

Witkin et al. have studied the rod frame test as the problem of the perception of upright. Present study investigated the basic characteristics of this test and its relations to the personality traits. Main findings are as follows. (1) Large error in RFT (field dependent) correlates with high inferiority, subjectiveness, lack of cooperativeness, social introversion and social maladjustment. (2) There are sex differences in extent of the error at adjusting the rod to the true vertical, e. g., women showed larger errors than men, so that women are more field dependent. (3) By practice the errors were eliminated gradually. (4) Individual and conditional differences in the mean errors are large, but the internal consistency was high.
