25
: the ease with which they can be extended to new objects/events.
PERMEABILITY
26
This makes nothing else about the object matters.
Preemptive
27
: triggers other constructs without additional information
constellatory
28
l: Designating an object would not lead to other judgements about the object.
propositional
29
central to a person’s sense of who he is.
core
30
: less fundamental and more amenable to change.
peripheral
31
what are the fundamental Postulate
1. construction corollary 2Individual corollary 3. Organization corollary 4. Dichotomy corollary 5. Choice corollary 6. Range corollary 7. Experience corollary 8. Modulation corollary 9. Fragmentation corollary 10. Commonality corollary 11.Sociality corollary
32
A person’s processes are psychologically channelized by the ways in which he or she anticipates events.
fundamentals postulate
33
is both the push and pull of the psychology of personal constructs.
anticipation
34
A person anticipates events by constructing their replications.
construction corollary
35
using experience to identify recurrent themes in meanings of events
replication
36
people develop their own rules / constructs to interpret events based on their previous experiences.
personal construct theory
37
People develop internal models of reality, called
constructs
38
what corollary is this, if a man’s mother has given him a birthday present for the last thirty years, his prediction that he will receive another present from her on his next birthday makes sense. Similarly, if one has watched a particular television program at 11:30 p.m. on weeknights for the past several years, one’s prediction that it will again be on television at the same time next Monday night is a reasonable one?
construction corollary
39
Persons differ from each other in their construction of events.
individuality corollary
40
Each person characteristically evolves, for convenience in anticipating events, a construction system embracing ordinal relationships between constructs. - This helps minimize incompatibilities and inconsistencies. - Such a system continuously evolves with experience.
organization corollary
41
in organization corollary, Each person arranges his/her constructs into a _____?
hierarchical system
42
When you are talked into a blind date, and your friend spends a great deal of energy trying to convince you that the person you will be going out with has a great personality, you know, you just know, that they will turn out to look like Quasimodo
organization corollary
43
A person’s construction system is composed of a finite number dichotomous constructs.
dichotomy corollary
44
are constructs that are opposite to each other?
dichotomous constructs
45
what corollary is this, A college course may be either interesting or uninteresting, but it cannot be both at the same time. For example, breathing and not breathing would not be a legitimate construct in evaluating three friends. Because all of them breathe, the proposed construct would not tell how the three individuals are different as well as alike. Therefore, it would not reduce uncertainty in the future.
dichotomy corollary
46
A person chooses that alternative in a dichotomized construct through which he/she anticipates the greater possibility for extension and definition of his/her system.
choice corollary
47
Commonly, our choices are between an adventurous alternative and a safe one. We could try to extend our understanding of, say, human heterosexual interaction (partying) by making the adventurous choice of going to more parties, getting to know more people, developing more relationships, and so on. On the other hand, we might prefer to define our understanding by making the security choice: staying home, pondering what might have gone wrong with that last unsuccessful relationship, or getting to know one person better.
choice corollary
48
A construct is convenient for the anticipation of a finite range of events only. - In other words, a construct is limited to a particular range of convenience or range of events only.
range corollary
49
what corollary is this Apples, bananas, yogurt, and Cholesterol Clusters are all within the range of convenience of the dichotomous construct nutritious food versus junk food, but cement is outside of it.
range corollary
50
A person’s construction system varies as he/she successively constructs the replications of events.
experience corollary
51
The variation in a person’s construction system is limited by the permeability of the construct within whose range of convenience the variants lie.
modulation corollary
52
Goodness can be applied to persons with tattoos…. But not to things with “tattoos”.
modulation corollary
53
A person may successfully employ a variety of construction subsystems that are inferentially incompatible with each other.
fragmentation corollary
54
what corollary is this a man might be protective of his wife, yet encourage her to be more independent. Protection and independence may be incompatible with each other on one level, but on a larger level, both are subsumed under the construct love.?
fragmentation corollary
55
- To the extent that one person construes the construction process of another, he/she may play a role in a social process involving the other person.
sociality corollary
56
To the extent that one person employs a construction of experience that is similar to that employed by another, his/her psychological processes are similar to those of the other person
commonality corollary
57
what are 3 continuum of cognitive awareness?
preverbal constructs submerged constructs suspended constructs
58
These are constructs not coded in linguistic form, they cannot be articulated but continue to influence our behavior.
preverbal construct
59
This is when one pole of a dichotomous construct is less available than the other.
submerged constructs
60
Ideas and memories are only available if constructs that can represent them exist. - If a dichotomous construct disappears from the construct system, this may result into temporary forgetting of a memory until a new construct can represent them again.
suspended constructs
61
is one of the most helpful in developing clinical psychotherapies, especially those that are hinged on the patient’s cognition.
Kelly's work
62
most appropriate term for kelly's theory is?
metatheory
63
full name of his parents
elfleda and theodore kelly
64
it is the psychology of human quest
