Based on the intention to integrate the split and fragmentation of intelligence researches, a multiple integrative dynamic system circular openness (MIDSCO) paradigm is suggested, which can function as a meta-theory principle guiding theory construction, then, a corresponding MIDSCO-i intelligence theory is constructed, besides, a set of meta-theory criteria to justify a theory before any empirical test is administered are also established. MIDSCO-i intelligence theory is a systematic construct with five serial models in it, built up on the cognitive representation and cognitive process level, which can uniformly explain conflicting intelligence phenomena and integrate different intelligence theories. After that, the MIDSCO-i model is also demonstrated through both the theoretical verification and empirical testification. With regard of the theoretical verification approach, six meta-theory test criteria are set up and employed, and all these six pure theoretical test principles can be fit well by the MIDSCO-i model. As for the empirical test method, two logistic regression models are applied to gain a convergent confirmation, and the null hypothesis predicted from the MIDSCO-i is empirically testified. MIDSCO is initially supposed as a meta-theory paradigm to construct a systematical theory which can integrate the split and fragmentation situation in intelligence researches, theoretical and empirical test results show the corresponding MIDSCO-i intelligence model functions well. |
