Foregrounding the transactional perspective’s community orientation
More than 10 years after our publication in this journal introducing the transactional perspective on occupation, we take the opportunity with others in this special issue to critically examine and suggest enhancements to the perspective. Here we lay the groundwork for what could be a new phase in the transactional perspective’s development by arguing for the value of its community-level orientation toward processes of occupation, inquiry, and pr…
Joining in, interpretative reproduction, and transformations of occupations
To understand the early emergence of occupations, this paper suggests occupational scientists need to look for the little things infants do to participate in routine occupations of the people around them. This participation creates an interpersonal workspace where infants’ behaviors reflect the caregiving practices of the culture they were born into. Empirical research supports the idea that infants experience the action of people as intentional.…
Occupation as Transactional Experience
Occupational science uses various concepts to denote occupation as residing within the individual. That is, despite recognizing the role of a context for the individual and her or his occupation, occupational scientists have continued to implicitly or explicitly create a dualistic view of person and context (environment). The dualism creates a problem for understanding occupation as well as the relationship of person and context. In this paper we…

Model of Processes Transforming Occupations
Occupational science brings unique insights that enrich the knowledge‐base regarding the development of everyday activities. Grounded in a synthesis of the literature, this paper articulates a contextual model of the processes that bring about the emergence of an occupation and transformations in how it is performed and experienced. Change originates from multiple synergistic forces described by three clusters of propositions. First, at the socie…
Infants with colic
The purpose of this article is to broaden our understanding of colic and to explore the effects of infant colic both on the mother's stress level and on her anxiety about separation from her infant. A “colic” group of 20 mother-infant dyads was compared with a second, control “noncolic” group of equal size. Significant group differences in the amount of time the infants cried, fussed, and were in a quiet/awake state were found. Although no differ…
