As to Kunming抯 subjects, by taking the sex and the age as independent variables and the primary scores of the cognitive style as dependent variables, the dissertation undertakes a 2 X4 multi梫ariables analysis of variance. It also undertakes the simple effect inspection with result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) by interaction factors, a LSD inspection by age factors and t inspection between Kunming and Honghe and between the Honghe抯 Han and the Hani nationality. 2. 3. 2 By taking the test primary scores of the 24 personalities and the test primary scores of the cognitive style separating the subjects in different region, different nationality and different age, the dissertation undertakes the Pearson抯 correlation. 2.3.3 By taking the three levels(field梔ependence level, middle level and field梚ndependence level)of the cognitive style and the test primary scores of the 24 personalities separating the subjects in different region, different nationality and different age, the dissert...
