Critics
Interactionists tend to focus on small scale face-to-face interaction and failed to take into consideration social or historical setting which is a serious omission
Ropers argued that interactionists see people engaged in as mere episodes, encounters and situations
-
Looking Glass Self
-
A social psychological concept stating that a person's self grows out of society's interpersonal interactions and the perceptions of others
-
Mead described self as "taking the role of the other", the premise for which the self is actualised
Through interaction with others, we begin to develop an identity about who we are, as well as empathy for others
Jean Piaget
Believed that children think differently than adults and stated they go through 4 universal stages of cognitive development
- Sensorimotor (see and believe)
- Preoperational (don't see but can accept)
- Concrete operational (accept reshaping)
- Formal operational (problem solving)
