Abstract
49 soldier-observers viewed 40 slides in which a stimulus soldier was identically posed in a constant background but at different viewing distances (175, 200, 225, 250, and 275 ft.) and viewing angles (14° and 21°, left and right) from the observer. Accuracy of target detection was compared with viewers' scores on the Hidden Shapes Test and the Maudsley Personality Inventory. Field-dependence-independence and extraversion-introversion were determined to be separately and jointly related to accuracy of target detection. The major effects were attributable to the notably poorer performance of Ss characterized as field-dependent extraverts.Keywords
