THE INFLUENCE OF COGNITIVE STYLE ON PERSONALITY SOCIOMETRIC STATUS

Abstract

In the present study there was found no significant relation between sociometric status of a person and his/her cognitive style «rigidity-flexibility». This may be considered as the evidence that the phenomenon of cognitive style does not allow any evaluation or assessment because both poles of cognitive style have some advantages in those behavior situations that require certain individual cognitive abilities. There was no significant difference between boys and girls in index of rigidity- flexibility as well as no difference in sociometric status between rigid and flexible Pupils.
