The domain is expanding with new voices and ideas increasingly contributing to the conversation. A key concept underlying Integral Theory is to include as many perspectives, styles, and methodologies as possible when exploring a topic.1 There are several excellent overviews of Integral Theory for those new to the topic. But for our purposes here, a brief characterization will suffice.2 Integral Theory suggests that four irreducible perspectives (subjective, intersubjective, objective, and interobjective) should be consulted when attempting to fully understand any topic or aspect of reality.”3 These four perspectives are represented in a four-quadrant model.

The concerns are individual motivation, changes in people’s values, perceptions, and goals, and the meaning of life. • The upper right Behavioral (objective) is the individual’s exterior world, in which individual behavior can be observed.
