Document Summary

Psyb30-chapter 8: self and other: social-cognitive aspects of personality. Kelly said that people act by virtue of being alive. What moves people to act is their desire to know what the world has in store for them; person is like a scientist, seeking to predict and control events. Each of us classifies their world by developing personal constructs which are characteristic ways of construing how some things are alike and some things are different from one another; every construct is bipolar. The construct helps to predict and control the interpersonal world. Constructs are organized into hierarchy (organization corollary); some constructs are superordinal and others are subordinal. To see the world through someone else"s eyes is to have sociality corollary. Constructs differ from one another with respect to their range of convenience called range corollary. Constructs are more like hypotheses; ways of anticipating what may or many not happen.
