In this article, I respond to Noel Card's "Methodological Issues in Measuring the Development of Character." I focus on the ways in which social scientific knowledge represents human constructions of the world and the implications of this stance for the measurement of character. Further, I consider how context influences those constructions and the need for researchers to more purposefully engage with questions of construct (in)stability across contexts both within and between people. Finally, I discuss the ways in which expanding our methodological tool box, to include multiple quantitative and qualitative methods, will help us gain a more nuanced, and thereby more broadly useful, understanding of character development.
