Document Summary

Personalizing: relating things to a personal experience. How do we interpret things based on our sensory feelings. Explanations we give for different events and experiences that happen. This was because of me. ) or do we externalize it (the profs an easy marker. ) Do you think things are likely, unlikely. Field dependence: people who are influences by environmental cues. In the box and rod test thing, the box is the right way" and the rod is at an angle. The box then gets tilted on an angle, but not the same angle as the rod. People with field dependence, when asked to straighten the rod and make it upright, will make the rod upright, within the box. They will make it upright so it lines up in the box, and is on the same angle as the box. Field independence: people who are influenced by inner (self) cues.
