I am seeking the difference between an interpretivist paradigm and a constructivist paradigm with theory guiding my research

David L Morgan

My personal opinion is that there is not much difference. Lincoln and Guba (1985) were the originators of the paradigm framework, along with their chapters over the years in the various editions of the Denzin & Lincoln handbook, and they always referred to Constructivism. I do, however, have an impression that Interpretivisim might be more commonly used in Britain while Constructivism is favored in the U.S.
