In this context, ideation may be considered constructive or escapist, creative or destructive, depending on the lens through which this state of mind is being observed.

The most important ideational factors in Contructivist explanations are widely shared or "intersubjective" beliefs, which are not reducible to individuals (Finnermore & Sikink 2001).
