On the other hand, the Fisher pairwise comparison showed that a statisticallysignificant difference occurs when comparing Civil Engineering vs. Chemical Engineering, CivilEngineering vs. Food Production Engineering, and Industrial Engineering vs. Food ProductionEngineering. The meaning of these results is, for example, that we can say with 95% confidence,that Civil Engineering students are less dependent or more individualistic than ChemicalEngineering and Food Production Engineering students.

Lewin, who has put forward group dynamics based on histheory of psychodynamics in the 1940s, perceives that group is not formed based on physicalapproximation or simple similarity of the members, but on the fact that a group ofinterdependent people gather together [1]. According to the theory, a person's behavior (B) isthe result of internal demand (P) and external environment (E), which can be expressed byB=f (P, E).
