Document Summary
Might be looking at other pieces of the environment: they prefer technological occupations. Test difference between field-dependent and independent by using rod-and-frame test. Locus of control- peoples beliefs about the control of reinforcements and outcomes in their lives. External locus of control- believes they have little control over what happens to them: experience more stress, have more conflicts between work and family, absenteeism. Feel like they might not have control over situation so doesn"t matter if they are there or not. When interacting with strangers they talk more and look at the person more because they are focused on their own thoughts and behaviors where internals are more focused on the outside behaviors and such. Need feedback to see if they need to adjust their behavior: more resistant to social influences, hold more leadership positions, pay more attention to others responses. We develop these expectations from our experiences in the world and we generally have one way of thinking.
