CONCEPTUAL, EPISTEMOLOGICAL, METHODOLOGICAL, AND OUTCOME ISSUES IN WORK-ROLE DEVELOPMENT - A REPLY

The article examines and seeks to clarify some of the conceptual, epistemological, methodological and developmental outcome issues raised by Hesketh (1995), Blustein (1995) and Eldredge (1995). We point out conceptual differences in views of the correspondence construct, clarify our epistemological vantage point, clarify the issue of the timing of measurement in longitudinal data collection, and argue for the contemporary significance of the developmental outcomes studiedd by Feij et al. (1995). We conclude on a hopeful note that the results of this 'debate' will help advance science. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
