The likelihood that an individual will perform consistently on different psychological dimensions (the “consistency across modalities” hypothesis) was examined by measuring self/nonself-segregation. 108 males aged 19 to 22 yr. were given a simple perceptual task (field dependence/independence) and a self-concept measure, the True-False Ratio dimension of Fitts' Tennessee Self-concept Scale. The results tend to support the hypothesis; however, most support derives from the extreme ends of the distribution. Data suggest the distribution of the True-False Ratio can be described as neither linear nor continuous but rather as discrete, indicating three distinct groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
