MEASUREMENT, SOCIOMETRY, AND SOME DEVELOPMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
Keywords:
MEASUREMENT, SOCIOMETRY, DEVELOPMENTAL IMPLICATIONSAbstract
This article presents descriptions and examples of some empirical links between social and cognitive behavior. A brief sketch of selected sociometric techniques tied to developmental theory is presented. From this follows a subsequent proposal for an interactional analysis of social and cognitive behaviors. J. L. Moreno and J. Piaget's works provide the supporting theories for the empirical assessment of the interaction of these behaviors.
