| Three levels and approaches have been included: personal experience, interactionist and sociocultural. |
| Our study is informed by both the symbolic interactionist perspective and ecological theory. |
| Several studies conducted along the lines of the interactionist approaches have developed a gender-specific analysis perspective. |
| As a developmental psychologist, the first author received very little exposure to symbolic interactionist approaches during his graduate training. |
| He was a dualistic interactionist, who thought that the rational soul and the body have a causal influence on each other. |
| Rather, the case against interactionist dualism hinges crucially on the empirical thesis that all physical effects already have physical causes. |
