The Integral Pod

The Integral Pod (formerly I-I+Zaadz, or IIZ) is a discussion group (a.k.a. “pod”) for enthusiasts of the work of Ken Wilber and other proponents of integral thought. Our aim here is to provide a “We-space” for broad discussion of second-tier living, loving and learning. Please read our vision and guidelines – the ...(more)

Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (10 months ago)

Developmental Research

Justin said Sep 29, 7:44 AM:

 

Hello,

I am in the process of putting together a research project to study young adults 35 or younger who have developed/tend to perform in the later stages of adult development.

Specifically, I am interested in interviewing adults 35 or younger who have been tested and scored at at least one of the following:

Loevinger/WSCT: Autonomous or later
Cook-Greuter/LDP: Autonomous or later
Torbert/Harthill: Strategist or later
Cognitive: Meta-systemic or later
Somthing other than Spiral Dynamics that has been scored at correlated stages.

If you are 35 or younger (or were 35 or younger when you were scored), I would very much like to discuss further w/ you the my research further.

About me: I am currently a PhD student at Lesley University studying Adult Learning and Development.  I have been a student of Integral for 5 years now and have had the opportunity to study formally at I-I, Spiral Dynamics and trained to score Susanne Cook-Greuter's WSCT/LDP.

In particular I am interested as to researching what the common variables are that unfold in the interview process for those who have matured into these later stages of development and how their developmental stage may have outpaced their developmental life phase.  That is, their phase in life (social construct/role, tied to bio-age) is not a indicator of their developmental stage complexity.  They may be more mature/developed in particular ways that their older-life phase peers are.  I think that this phenomenon is very important to study not only to clarify the distinction between developmental stage and phase, but also to more deeply understand what is possible and…maybe come a bit closer to understanding 'why' some may develop and other not…and can this be designed into adult learning contexts.

If you fit this category, I would value your response to me directly.

Wooo hooo Justin!! Go for it!! Wishing you the best. Your audience is small, though because so few have taken any of those tests. Hope you can persuade the test-givers to allow you to contact test-takers, or perhaps they will write a letter to their mailing lists, suggesting people contact you re your project. 

Sure sounds like a great dissertation to me!!! I'd love to hear what variables you start out with, and what you end up with.

Blessings,

Hey Justin,
I'll keep a keen eye out for candidates. Very exciting research you are proposing.
I wish you great success!
Cheers,
