This article explores the psychological characteristics underlying the development of cognitive styles in adolescents. The study emphasizes the interaction between personality, environmental factors, and cognitive processes that shape the individual’s way of perceiving, processing, and responding to information. It highlights how adolescence, being a period of significant intellectual and emotional transformation, is marked by variability in cognitive styles such as field dependence–independence, reflective–impulsive tendencies, and analytical–holistic orientations. The article provides an analytical overview of theoretical and empirical studies, methodologies for assessment, and the implications of cognitive style development for educational psychology.
