This book explores the psycho-social and cognitive development of
Greek Cypriot University students. Taking Perrys theory of ethical
and intellectual development as a point of reference, it first
explores the way Perry was influenced by both Piaget and Kohlberg
in relation to the formulation of stage theory, and then discusses
the way Perrys work influenced more recent post Post-formal
theories of cognitive development. It is argued that all stage
theories depended on a particular structuralist reading of
Piagetian theory that suppressed the references to the social
psychological work of Piaget, and in particular the role of social
interaction in cognitive development. This critique is articulated
in two moves. First, the authors describe how critical voices
internal to this literature like Riegels attempted to depart from
what they conceived as an individualistic paradigm through the
introduction of a dialectical framework, but then also point to the
problems of these initial efforts. A major problem of these first
efforts was the absence of a well developed socio-cultural
framework for analysis based on Vygotskian theory. This problem is
redressed through a discussion of the ways that major
socio-cultural theorists understood human development in their more
recent theories. The authors also revisit the social concept in
Piagetian theory and its development through successive generations
of research on social interaction and cognitive development. An
integrative framework of human development as a social
psychological process is then proposed that welds together a role
for social relations on crucial cognitive outcomes like the
attainment of formal operational thinking and deep learning.
Additionally, psycho-social developmental outcomes like tolerance,
commitment to future plans and self-determination are discussed as
well. The results, beyond providing a description of university
students state of development for the first time in the Cypriot
context, also discuss the role of gender and socio-economic status
in these students. Finally, the book is characterised by the
attempt at the articulation of what Doise [1986] described as the
four levels of analysis [intra-personal, interpersonal,
intergroup/positional, social representations/ideological] by
integrating in this process of articulation a role for social
ethnic identity and ideological variables, thus offering a more
complete socio-cultural model of university students development
that manages to integrate social identity dynamics into existing
development theories.
