Problems and Prospects in Developmental Psychology.
Harre, Rom, Ed.
Oxford Review of Education, v10 n3 p251-304 1984
Research results reported in this special issue show that egocentricity and staging, both central ideas in the Piaget-Kohlberg account of human development, are myths. The appearance of egocentricity and staging can be accounted for by a subtle combination of ethnocentricity and the effects of inappropriate methodologies. (RM)
