Subject: Interesting quote from Rogoff & Gauvain
In the study Rogoff & Guavain conducted studying analysis of patterns in
mother/child dyads [The individual subject and scientific psychology edited
by valsiner, 1986],
"The separation of the behaviors from the interactional context required
each event to be coded in terms of surface characteristics rather than in
terms of the purpose it served for the participants. Going from coded
behavior to interpretation of data requires a large step, often involving
inference of subjects' purposes underlying the pattern of data. This step
is problematic if the behaviors coded do not refer to their purpose in the
interactional event, becasue any particular action may serve several
alternative or simultaneous purposes. (pg. 266)."
appropriation might be a stage of internalization that has no real intent
other then possibly 'parrallel play'. This skewing of the perception of the
psychologist from external to internal could possibly allow one to not
necessarily code individual behaviors but rather a hiearchy of intent.
