I have realized as I progress in my courses at Ashford University that I need not necessarily accept the negative criticism of individuals who lack credentials, full understanding through knowledge, or experience in the area addressed.
How can I determine which feedback is applicable for my use, especially in analyzation of my writing for editorial purposes? The answer is dialectic reasoning, a fifth stage of cognitive development conjectured by Klaus F. Riegel. Riegal was a researcher in the field of psychology; he intensley studied and published his very passion: "the effect of aging on intelligence." (https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl)
Dialectic means pertaining to logical argumentation. So dialectic reasoning involves questions and arguments over the knowledge that was discovered by critical thinking. Editors, whether professional or informal, will use the critical process of analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating, and applying to edit fiction and especially nonfiction writing. The writer would prosper by using dialectic reasoning to analyze the suggestions offered by the editor. In other words, it is your story.
