Constructivist perspectives emphasize that individuals construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. They are seen as being in a "dialectic relationship" with the environment, meaning there is a continuous interaction and exchange between the individual and their environment, shaping and reshaping each other. This contradicts the idea that the environment doesn't influence us or that it completely explains why people are the way they are.
