Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Post-formal reasoning involves looking at issues from multiple perspectives and involves both abstract and practical thinking. Graduate school challenges students to think both philosophically and practically, which makes them more likely to engage in this type of reasoning. Culture, siblings, and the focus of the high school curriculum are not directly related to post-formal reasoning.
