Abstract

Social Perspective taking (SPT) is the aptitude to consider others' thoughts, feelings, intentions, and motivations in a particular situation. Our goal was to gain a deeper understanding of SPT by focusing on its dynamic and social nature. Qualitatively analyzing small group dialogues in an 8th-grade humanities classroom, we explore the interplay between the level of SPT acts and dialogical moves. Our findings indicate that SPT in a group dialogue context is a complex practice in which students engage with different perspectives and evaluate how their perspectives differ (or do not differ) compared to the perspectives of others. Specifically, higher levels of SPT acts stemmed from explaining one's own perspective by inviting peers to put themselves in someone else's shoes.
