"Trade-Offs," Field Dependence/Independence, and Sex-Based Economics Comprehension Differences.
Martin, David A.; Bender, David S.
Journal of Economic Education, v16 n1 p62-70 Win 1985
The study found that although field independent and field dependent sixth grade students had equal prior knowledge of economic concepts, field independent students learned more than field dependent students from "Trade-Offs." Males were more field independent than females. Although males scored higher on the posttest, the difference was not statistically significant. (RM)
