Constructs
GEORGE KELLY (1905-1967)

What is a construct?
• are cognitions that people create and actively impose on the world to make sense out of it.
• are personal; representing the idiosyncratic ways that people sort out the people and events they encounter.
•evolve over time and across repeated experiences.

‘A submerged pole’ is similar to which
Freudian concepts?

What else are personal constructs?
• Bipolar• Emergent pole/Implicit pole• Dichotomous• Both conscious and unconscious

Kelly’s Fundamental Postulate
“People’s behavior, thoughts, and feelings (their
personalities) are determined by the constructs they use to anticipate or predict events”
![Page 13: PART II COGNITIONS & THE SELF](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681338f550346895d9a992c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Using Constructs in Life...
Hypothesize (implicitly) that a construct will fit an event.
Test the hypothesis by applying the construct and predicting a consequence.
Construct confirmed or disconfirmed?
Does the construct have predictive efficiency?
![Page 14: PART II COGNITIONS & THE SELF](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681338f550346895d9a992c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Our personalities
are defined by the type of constructs we have.
![Page 15: PART II COGNITIONS & THE SELF](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681338f550346895d9a992c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Constructive Alternativism
• There are infinite number of ways to construe events.
• We are capable of combining, recombining, and even totally revising our constructions in an ongoing cycle of meaning-making.

Characteristics of Personal Constructs:Range of convenience
• Set of events for which a construct is useful.
• Range of Convenience (Is it limited in scope or useful across many situations?)
![Page 17: PART II COGNITIONS & THE SELF](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681338f550346895d9a992c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Characteristics of Personal Constructs:
Permeability
• The degree to which a construct is able to incorporate new experiences.

Our personalities are defined by the type of constructs we
have and how we operate them.
Individual differences exist in terms of
•permeability•consistency•comprehensiveness •hierarchy

Cognitions (beliefs, attitudes, values, self/other schemas) constitute the information that guides people’s behavior
We have different views and ways of doing things...

Hey…..I like your constructs!

“Humans are intuitive scientist: have theories
(constructs)about themselves and
others, formulate hypothesis based on these theories, gather
info to test these hypothesis, and then confirm/revise these
theories”
People are like scientists….

COGNITIVE STYLES:
NEED FOR COGNITION (Cacciopo & Petty, 1982)
Tendency to engage in and enjoy thinking (cognitive persistence, cognitive confidence, cognitive complexity)
INTEGRATIVE COMPLEXITY (Tetlock, 1979)
Ability to deal with and integrate multiple perspectives, hypothetical situations, and new interpretations

Application of Kelly’s work
Lazarus: Appraisal and Stress
![Page 27: PART II COGNITIONS & THE SELF](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681338f550346895d9a992c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Lazarus: Appraisal and Stress
1) Primary appraisal: Process of perceiving an impending threat
2) Secondary appraisal: Process of determining what should be done (of many) to deal with threat
3) Coping: Effort to do what’s been chosen as best way to handle threat
4) Reappraisal: Reinterpret the meaning of events, when occurring or following the event

Our cognitions impact our behavior, well-being, and
even, our health
• Reformulated learned helplessness theory (Abramson, Selgiman, & Teasdale, 1978)
• Finding positive meaning (reappraising) (Affleck & Tennen, 1996)
• Health outcomes from finding meaning (Folkman, Chesney, et al, 1996)

Applying one’s personal constructs to life decisions ….
What do I want to major in?
Do I want to date that person?
How do I want to think about that situation?
Do I want to take that class?
What do I really want out of life?What do I really want out of life?
Who can help me with this problem?
