How do researchers using Baltes' model measure wisdom? Are there any shortcomings to this approach?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Baltes et al., use scenarios of situations and then code responses. One shortcoming is that there may be different components of wisdom in different cultures and this work has been done mostly in Germany. Also, what people say they would do may be different from what they actually do.
