XIX. Dictation for Conceptualization

 

            The decision to conceptualize the systems as derived from these two components was not made capriciously. It was made because my data required that the systems be so represented. 

 

The data said:

 

  a) Conceptualize adult behavior so as to allow for no variation in certain psychological dimensions, such as       intelligence and temperament.

  b) Conceptualize adult behavior so as to allow for quantitative variation in some dimensions . . . authoritarianism and dogmatism.

c) Conceptualize adult behavior in an alternating wave like fashion, allowing for repetition of theme . . . the change and organizational data. 

d) Conceptualize adult behavior so that every other system is similar to but at the same time different from its      alternate . . . the change data.

e) Conceptualize adult behavior so that each system has its system specificness, so that each system has a quality all its own  . . . the interaction data.

f) Conceptualize adult behavior so that certain systems are more externally oriented, so that other systems are internally oriented  . . . the deny self, express self data.

g) Conceptualize adult behavior so as to show increased degrees of behavioral freedom in each successive system, particularly in the express self not at the expense of others system . . . freedom to behave and problem solving data.
