Riegel also believed that structuralism in central Europe and behaviorism in the UK had its roots in the prevailing social, historical, and economic conditions of the time.

Relationships among theoretical traditions
Article Abstract:
Four alternative visions of the relationships among theoretical traditions were suggested to be of great help in the understanding and evaluation of Teo's article. These alternatives were exclusivism, inclusivism, detachment, and caring. Teo has identified three extended theoretical families that cannot be easily disseminated by traditional developmentalists which identified the need for alternative readings of his article and alternative visions of the relationships.
