Description
Statistical analysis of test scores obtained from forty-one children
separated from the father during early life and their matched controls
provides support for the conclusion that the quality or type of
subject-object interaction in the caretaking environment effectively
contributes to one's concept of the self as involved in a world of other
selves and objects, as one other member of a social system. The
concepts of self and other are derived from the form of experience
which one has had in responding to others present. Conceptual thinking
emerges as a reflection upon objects known. Objects are known to the
self as a result of actions taken in response to a thing's good or
useful properties. Seen in this way, knowledge represents an
instrumental relation of knower to thing known.
