Abstract

This paper describes the development and concurrent validation of a group-administered measure of field-dependence/independence for early elementary children. Following the procedure used to validate the Children's Group Embedded Figures Test (Level 2, 9 to 11 yr.), a validation study of a group test for younger children was undertaken with a second-grade sample (N = 77). The test was reliable (alpha = .84) and significantly related to both the individually administered Children's Embedded Figures Test (r = .56) and Portable Rod-and-frame Test (r = .57). This measure, designated the Children's Group Embedded Figures Test--Level 1, provides a promising research instrument for assessing cognitive style of young children.
