Scale of cognitive style (impulsivity-reflection )has been built to achieve the objectives of the current search at high school students of the distinct . researcher has read out the psychometric properties of the same scale .
The current research has reached the following results:
- 4% impulsive ,and 15% reflective ,and 70%betwixt and between.
- There is no statistically significant difference between males and females in cognitive style (impulsivity-reflection).
The researchers found a number of recommendations and proposals.
