bandura Flashcards
Although no two events are exactly alike, we construe similar events as if they were the same
construction corollary
states that because people have different experiences, they can construe the same event in different ways.
individuality corollary
assumes that people organize their personal constructs in a hierarchical system, with some constructs in a superordinate position and other subordinate to them. (
oraganizational corollary
assumes that people construe events in an either/or manner, e.g., good or bad.
The dichotomy corollary
assumes that people tend to choose the alternative in a dichotomized construct that they see as extending the range of their future choices
choice corollary
states that constructs are limited to a particular range of convenience; that is, they are not relevant to all situations.
range corollary
suggests that people continually revise their personal constructs as the result of their experiences.
experience corollary
assumes that only permeable constructs lead to change; concrete constructs resist modification through experience.
modulation corollary
states that people’s behavior can be inconsistent because their construct systems can readily admit incompatible elements.
fragmentation corollary
suggests that our personal constructs tend to be similar to the construction systems of other people to the extent that we share experiences with them.
commonality corollary
states that people are able to communicate with other people because they can construe those people’s constructions.
sociality corollary
