| Abstract | The article focuses on naïve dialecticism and its implications to cultural psychology. It states that naïve dialecticism is a belief that objects and events in the universe are subjected in a flux of extremes and opposites.

Moreover, it states that dialecticism is composed of beliefs specific in a particular culture. |
