Synopsis The work provides a new understanding and analysis of women’s problems. It also asserts that women’s studies is a critical input to promote better understanding of their contribution to social process with social, technology and environmental changes. The evidence that research had already produced, suggests that a cognitive style approach may be applied with profit to a variety of educational issues. It seems timely to bring the attention of educators the concept of field-independent/dependent dimension which at the moment appears to have clearest implications for educational issues. The work subjects the applicability of rural/urban differences in personality traits, psychogenic needs and academic achievement of adolescent students to a critical scrutiny.
