    Determinants of adolescent distributive-justice reasoning skills in a face-to-face resource-allocation task with parents (mother and father) were examined with 45 families.

  • Does Postmodernism Mean the End of Science in the Behavioral Sciences, and Does it Matter Anyway

    Open AccessBruce A RyanARTICLETheory & Psychology1999

    At the root of the epistemological implications of modernity and postmodernity is the question of the nature of reality. In modernity the presumption is that reality is external, fully defined, and subject to discovery through science.

  • Dialectics, Organicism, and Contextualism: A Rejoinder to Lerner

    Open AccessGerald R Adams, Bruce A Ryan et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence1992References: 3

    In his commentary on the dialectical model offered by Adams, Day, Dyk, Frede, and Rogers, Lerner suggests that dialectical theory be abandoned in favor of developmental contextual theory on the grounds that dialectical theory shares an identity with organicism, a metatheoryfatally flawed with a teleological causality. An examination of the concepts identified by Lerner show that although his reservations concerning organicism appear justified, no…
