ABSTRACT
The constructionist approach present a challenge for conventional hypothesis testing and hypothetico-deductive methods, namely the emphasis on complex behavioural process as a constructionist starting point, the uniqueness of experience, the fact that events and behaviour are already significant by virtue of their occurrence, the emphasis on conditional contextual interaction. It focuses on mutually exclusive personally related classes of process, rather than time and temporal succession of points, to order events and behaviour. Research questions of interest to the constructionist researcher about the typicality of the components in a process, the likelihood of change in process parameters, the impact of intervention in process and the conjunction of complex processes in defining a complex behaviour: all the questions that is difficult to answer within a binary hypothetico-deductive structure. In psychological research, however, the processes governing response outcome are generally unknown, and the uniformity of time relationships amongst these processes cannot be assumed.
