Abstract:

Personal Construct Theory (PCT) is unusual among personality theories in that it makes explicit its philosophical position: constructive alternativism. However, Kelly (1955) did not detail its philosophical origins. Kelly’s model of the person as an ‘incipient scientist’ followed the work of John Dewey and George Mead. It saw the person as a centre for agency, constructing theories on which action is based. The theory is phenomenological in that it sees personality in terms of the different ways in which things appear to people. It is paradoxical that while phenomenology and pragmatism are now influential in social psychology, PCT (which is in a good position to elaborate the agency/structure debate, so important in social psychology) remains a marginal theory in psychology. It is argued that Kelly’s model of ‘man the scientist’ and a lack of understanding of PCT’s philosophical roots both contribute to this. The article outlines the philosophical basis of PCT and considers an alternative model of ‘person as author’, which brings it into line with the narrative approaches that are more central to the discipline of social psychology.

Abstract:

Personal construct theory has provided a model of psychosocial functioning in the elderly. This model analyzes the changing events construed by the elderly, the content of their constructs, the forms of their construing, and the outcomes of these changes for them. Personal construct theory has also provided a model of psychotherapy, describing the roles of the client and therapist, as well as the therapeutic relationship between them. This model has identified the major therapeutic movements that can occur for elderly clients. The two models and the therapeutic movements are illustrated here in a case study.

Abstract:

We have initiated a project for constructing a mathematical model of human cognitive and psychological functions, executable on a computer. To this end, we propose probabilistic modeling based on the Personal Construct Theory, a basic theory used in cognitive/evaluative structure models for individuals. After extracting a skeleton structure using the Evaluation Grid, Bayesian network model is constructed though data learning. By executing a probabilistic reasoning algorithm on the constructed model, our proposal is applied to user-adaptable information systems, information recommendation, car navigation systems, etc.

Abstract:

• Summary Social workers and probation officers are frequently called upon to make judgements about the likelihood of re-offending. However, whilst the use of risk assessment instruments is now commonplace, the cognitive processes through which these judgements are made are rarely explicit. • Findings This study used the repertory grid method to elicit the constructs of judgements about re-offending of 15 experienced probation officers. Primary factors in their judgements were related to: (1) responsibility and risk taking behaviour; (2) criminal history; (3) self-awareness; and (4) stability. Personality characteristics, substance misuse and family dysfunction were also important. The findings are discussed in relation to two theoretical frameworks for understanding decision making: heuristics and biases and image theory, which focuses on values. • Application It is suggested that the design and implementation of assessment tools should be undertaken in the light of the constructs used in making professional judgements which inform the relevant decision making.

Abstract:

Personal self-activation inventory that measures a psychological construct reflecting person’s internal voluntary activity is considered in the article. The inventory includes three components (scales): independence, physical activation and psychological activation. In the framework of the Item Response Theory (IRT), the model of graded responses was applied. It is shown that all questions of the inventory have the discriminability not lower than moderate. The graphs of the information function for each scale indicate that the measurements of the self-activation components are fairly accurate in the range from low values to values significantly higher than the mean, and only the highest values (exceeding the mean by two standard deviations or more) are not measured accurately. A moderate positive correlation between self-activation and the average grade can serve as verification of the inventory criterion validity. Discriminant validity estimation, which was carried out by calculating correlations with other similar constructs (self-control, personal dynamism, hardiness), showed that hardiness is the most similar to self-activation construct. Incremental validity estimation has shown that when self-activation is added to the prediction model of performance based on personal resources, the variance explained is increased much more than by adding hardiness. This indicates that the self-activation construct has some incremental validity and reflects a psychological reality that is different from the construct of hardiness.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to advance our understanding of identity play process by including the stories we live by in depth. Over the past decade, identity play literature has placed more emphasis on the role of self-narratives. Yet, the “stories we live by”, including the told or untold stories of past and imagined events of the future, have not been considered in depth in these self-narratives.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper draws on the personal construct theory, narrative identity and constructivist psychotherapy literatures and attempts to include the stories we live by in scholarly conceptualizations and explorations of identity play processes.FindingsDrawing on the personal construct theory, narrative identity and constructivist psychotherapy literatures this paper offers a comprehensive conceptual model of how the stories we live by infuse individual identity construction processes. The model highlights the inter-connectivity among stories we live by, identity play, identity work, sensemaking and social validation. Looking through the lens of the personal construct theory and taking these inter-connectivities into account lead to the observation of temporality in identity construction and the plurivocality of self-narratives.Originality/valueThis paper looks at identity play through the lens of the personal construct theory. However, self-narratives are seen as a medium for manifestation of personal constructs. Thus, this paper also draws on the narrative identity literature and dialogical-self concept, which helps access the multiplicity of the self-narratives to widen our grasp of personal constructs. This paper combines discourse of deconstruction with the dialogical-self concept and provides more means for the explication of identity play.

Abstract:

Kelly's theory of personal constructs has been applied to generate an explanation of the normal processes of grief and mourning, using widowhood as an example. The psychological states characteristic of widowhood–shock and numbness, stress, anger, anxiety, guilt, sadness, despair, hostility, idealization, depression, and psychological reorganization–are viewed as manifestations of changes in parts of the widow's personal construct system. These changes involve the processes of personal construct dislocation and adaptation. Dislocation refers to the real or apparent failure of the widow's construct system to embrace the new events associated with her husband's death. Adaptation involves two processes, assimilation and accommodation. This proposal of concurrent processes of personal construct dislocation and adaptation differs from the phase-oriented approaches to bereavement. It also encourages the widow's active coping with her bereavement reaction.

Abstract:

George Kelly's personal construct theory and Rep Grid technique was followed to analyse perceptions of some aspects of the role of psychologist in the schools. Differences in role subsystems for ‘trainees’ and ‘experts’ were examined in the light of personal construct corollaries. Subjects were 23 ‘trainees’ and 15 ‘experts’. Investigation of the results indicated tentative support for the existence of a specific subsystem for the role of psychologist in the schools. Subjects who had previous work experience were able to make more extreme and consistent characterizations than their inexperienced counterparts. More agreement was evident for both groups when role descriptions contained a positive aspect.

Abstract:

Kelly's (1955) Role Construct Repertory Test (rep test) and Fransella's (1972) Bipolar Implication Grid (impgrid) were used to test three related hypotheses: (1) personal constructs that are elicited relatively early in the rep test are subjectively more important than constructs that are elicited later, (2) the former tend to be more ‘meaningful ‘than the latter in terms of their implication potential (cf. Lemon and Warren, 1974), and (3) the implication potential of personal constructs correlates with their relative subjective importance. Data elicited from 11 female and 6 male Canadian undergraduates were consistent with all three hypotheses. These results were discussed in relation to previous findings within the framework of personal construct theory.
