Abstract
Two studies were conducted to test competing theoretical predictions concerning the relationships among sex, sex-role identity, and field independence: (1) Witkin and Vaught's positions that maleness and masculinity (regardless of biological sex) are associated with field independence and (2) the present author's contention sex-reversed sex-role identity, irrespective of sex, would be predictive of field independence. Data collected from 110 high school males and 78 college females and males supported the latter prediction but only for males. No main effects due to sex were found.Keywords
