Perry's stage theory of intellectual and ethical development in the college years describes a sequence of steps in the movement from more absolutist or dualistic thinking to relativistic thinking.In dualistic thinking,the adolescent believes there is one right answer,other answers are wrong.As they move to relativistic thinking,young people come understand there is more than one correct way to view the same issue.Relying on Piagetian theory,Perry describes a sequence of nine "positions' or stages,ranging from extreme dualistic thinking to high levels of personally committed beliefs.Similar to Piaget,Perry postulates that there will be limits to the extent to which we can accelerate cognitive development due to biological or maturational constraints.However,we can help young people progress and transition through the position by confronting them with diversity of thought,values,and beliefs.We can also provide them the experience to explore their interests,curiosities,and opportunities for new social experiences.It is also important to provide teens with the structure to accommodate the many sources of information and ideas they will encounter.For example,school assignments can require the young person to evaluate the validity of sources of information and the legitimacy of the authority.As they move through the positions,it is important that adolescents have opportunities to reflect upon their knowledge and compare and coordinate evidence and opinions.
