(1)personal systems,(2) interpersonal- systems, and (3)social systems.

40

convey the general meaning of the concepts of the theory.

A

Definitions

41

also describe the activity necessary to measure the constructs, relationships, or variables within a theory (Chinn and Kramer 2004).

A

Definitions

42
Q

ongoing process of change whereby individuals retain their integrity within the realities of their environment.
