Apparent similarities between S. Schachter's stimulus binding construct and H. A. Witkin's construct of psychological differentiation, specifically field dependence, have been noted in the literature. The present study examined field dependence on the rod-and-frame test among 20 obese and 42 average-weight subjects. Obese subjects were more field-dependent than were average-weight subjects. Women were slightly more field-dependent than were men. The author concluded that obese persons are more field-dependent and speculated that the constructs may be describing similar phenomena.
文献中已指出，S. 沙赫特的刺激联结结构与H. A. 威特金的心理分化结构（特别是场依存性）之间存在明显相似之处。本研究对20名肥胖受试者和42名正常体重受试者进行了棒框测验，以检验其场依存性。肥胖受试者比正常体重受试者的场依存性更强。女性的场依存性略高于男性。作者得出结论，肥胖者的场依存性更强，并推测这些结构可能描述的是相似的现象。
