Title: Developmental range of reflective judgment: The effect of contextual support and practice on developmental stage.
Abstract: In this study of K. W Fischer's (1980) skill theory and the development of reflective judgment (K. S. Kitchener & P. M. King, 1981), 156 students, 14-28 years old, were tested. Two thirds responded to the Reflective Judgment Interview (RJI) and the Prototypic Reflective Judgment Interview (PRJI) twice, with the 2 administrations approximately 2 weeks apart. The remaining one third were tested at 2-week intervals only on the RJI. The PRJI was designed to provide support for optimal level reflective judgment responses, whereas the RJI measured functional level. Ss scored significantly higher on the PRJI than they did on the RJI at both testings, and there was a significant age effect on both measures. Age differences on the 2 measures could not be statistically accounted for by a measure of verbal ability. The PRJI data also provided evidence for spurts in development
