The purpose of this study was to examine the relations between cognitive styles (field dependence-independence) and temperamental structures. Correlation analyses indicated that activity and endurance are related to field-independence. Inter-correlation analyses, which were carried out separately for the field-dependent and field-independent groups, show that activity is not related to other temperamental traits in the field-independent group of subjects. Furthermore, It was examined the differentiation of temperamental structures within the groups of field-dependent and field independent subjects. It was revealed that only field-dependency is clearly related to the structure of temperament indicating low capability to process stimulation. The results are discussed in terms of the role of cognitive styles in regulation stimulation process and the interplay between temperamental traits and cognitive styles in development of the structure of temperament.
