Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postformal thinking is characterized by the ability to consider multiple perspectives and tolerate ambiguity and contradiction. Harry's ability to engage in debate and consider both sides of the issue suggests postformal thinking. Carl's frustration at not being able to determine the correct answer suggests conventional thinking. Formal thinking is characterized by the ability to engage in abstract thinking and logical reasoning, while anticonventional thinking involves rejecting traditional values and beliefs. Neither of these types of thinking are explicitly demonstrated in the scenario.
