Dueling Dualists

Abstract

Comments on an article by Jeremy I.M. Carpendale, Sherrie Atwood and Viktoria Kettner (see record [rid]2014-13334-003[/rid]). Carpendale, Attwood, and Kettner (henceforth CAT) articulate two worldviews that underlie much research in developmental psychology. Their own worldview is called relational constructivism, and they contrast that with a worldview they called dualism, which they attribute to us, among others. In the interest of theoretical, or meta-theoretical, balance, authors would like to offer here their perspective on this dichotomy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved)
