write about personal constructs and constructive alternativism
Purpose: Kelly believed people perceive and organize their world of experiences by formulating hypotheses about the environment and testing them against the reality of daily life. We observe the events of our life and interpret them in our own way. This special view, the unique pattern created by each individual, is what Kelly called our construct system. A construct is the unique way of looking at life, an intellectual hypothesis devised to explain or interpret events. Over the course of our lives we develop many constructs, one for almost every type of person or situation we encounter. We expand, alter, and discard these constructs periodically as situations change. Our constructs must continually be revised and be adaptable to change, which is called constructive alternativism. This view expresses that we are not controlled by our constructs, but are free to revise or replace them with other alternatives. The purpose of this personality project is to analyze and give evidence of how your personal constructs have developed, changed and impacted your personality over time.
