Names are influential.
They are shaped by one's assumptions and in turn shape one's formulations. Thus, although the authors do not use the term social constructionism, that is the social-science doctrine to which they adhere. Too often, the discussion becomes defensively opinionated in adhering to a social or sociological explanation of the survey's statistics. That approach would have allowed for not just one but several alternative attempts at ex post facto causal explanations. Tendentiousness would have been avoided.
