Estilo cognitivo en la dimensión de dependencia-independencia de campo de estudiantes universitarios del área de Manizales.

Abstract

This paper reports a study that seeks to identify the cognitive styles, in the field independence-dependence dimension, in a university student population and to establish its associations with gender and career. The total sample consisted of 1.379 students
(797 females and 582 males) from three universities in the metropolitan area of Manizales (Colombia), from 18 professional
careers, who answered the sg-eft test which measures levels of field independence. Analyses of variance and t- Student tests
were carried out to examine differences by gender and career. Significant differences in the sg-eft scores were found regarding
career choice, independently of gender. Results are discussed with respect to previous findings and their implications for the
construction of the student profile in each career

Keywords:
