Two definitions

[edit]

It seems "generativity" means different things in different fields. There should probably be two separate articles, one for the meaning to Piaget and one for the philosophical/technological meaning. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 13:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on that. Since we are focused on the psychology aspect the technological one should start another article. I am not sure how to do that though. LaTashab3! (talk) 21:08, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree! I was also surprised that it was under one article. Im working on this assignment for a class and will try to fix that once i know how. Byui.adult psych (talk) 22:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Generative systems?

[edit]

I found this article with a search on Zittrain and generativity. Christopher Alexander around 1968 spoke about a generative pattern language, see Systems generating systems — architectural design theory by Christopher Alexander (1968). Is that relevant or not relevant to this idea? Daviding (talk) 09:14, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article evaluation

[edit]

There are two definitions of generativity one is dealing with psychological concepts the other is technological. I feel like the two should not be in the same article. Also this article does not go in depth about the theories involving generativity, but glances over them. I feel like the theories need to be explored more in this article and how they relate to other aspect of adult development. Specifically about life goals and intrinsic motivation. Any thoughts on this? LaTashab3! (talk) 21:16, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kenneth J. Gergen

[edit]

The concept of generativity is also associated with social psychologist Kenneth J.. Gergen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_J._Gergen. He talks about "Generative theory: Theory that unsettles common assumptions, and opens up possibilities or new forms of action. ("Toward generative theory")."

Gervase Bushe and Robert Marshak, the originators of Dialogic Organization Development, cite generativity (Gergen version) as one of the three pillars of their approach.

Should these points be mentioned here? Jackmartinleith (talk) 21:53, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
