Construct Psychology

The crossroads between social constructivism and personal construct psychology (PCP) are increasingly being explored . This tradition is not only appropriate, but need each other. When construction sees cognition not as a personal by any means leading to "behind" behavior, but the configuration of the mind and sense that occur in action, the social context of the act that arises as an interest . At the same time , how cultural ideas or practices or "discourses" manifested in individuals and their actions, is very important. The discourse of psychology offers an opportunity to develop a coherent mix of social constituent ideas around the discourse , with PCP. This paper outlines the key features of such an endeavor. Accounts of the psychological discourse approach are provided, and these are then used to establish connections with PCP.

This paper outlines the key features of discourse and psychological construct Psychology (PCP) in the past decades. This library research constructs its 59 related studies have been downloaded from the Google Scholar databases. The analysis in this study sees the crossroads between social constructivism and personal construct psychology (PCP) are increasingly being employs during the past decades. This convention is not only appropriate but seems to need each other. When construction sees cognition not as a person by any means leading to "behind" behaviour, but the configuration of the mind and sense that occur in action, the social context of the act that arises as an interest. At the same time, how cultural ideas or practices or "discourses" manifested in individuals and their actions, is very important. Therefore this study jump into conclusions that the discourse of psychology offers an opportunity to develop a coherent mix of social constituent ideas around the discourse, with PCP

Construct Psychology

Personal construct psychology enabled teacher stress to be conceptualised in terms of their perceptions of their ability to cope with stressors. Different degrees of support were seen in terms of the teachers' allocation of dependencies. Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and FOCUS-ed (or cluster analysed) Dependency (individual and mode) grids were used to reveal and manipulate 11 teachers' resources and then to monitor how their group levels of stress were affected. Although the study reflected an idiographic approach rather than a substantive pattern, stress was reduced for the highly stressed, maintained for the moderately stressed and increased for the low stressed. Since using a not coping rather than a coping perspective characterised the distressed group before the intervention, teachers may need to emphasise a more affirmative stance. Once teachers establish what they construe as stressful and what support they can use, they are in a more informed position to engage in stress management or maintenance.

Construct Psychology

The research question we would like to answer with this article is if agile related constructs or personal assessment criteria can be elicited from a personal construct system of employees and leaders by carrying out a repertory grid study in an organisation. The methodology of personal construct psychology was chosen to get an unbiased view of the corporate culture. In a plannable world an organisational structure with a hierarchy of executives and managers following a vertical top-down approach makes sense. A world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) requires a different model to organisational design. Horizontal integration that fosters involvement and empowerment has proven to be an agile response to this new environment. Consequently, agile management methods are a key instrument for an organisation to prepare for future challenges in a competitive industry. But how can an organisation assess its own agile status quo? This research uses personal construct psychology (PCP) to visualize the agility status of an organisation. A range of recent empirical and practical research articles were studied to filter the most relevant practices and critical factors of organisational agility. The findings are compared to a data basis generated by 61 repertory grid interviews carried out in a SME to evaluate whether personal construct theory is a suitable approach to assess the agility status of an organisation. The findings are visualised with a repertory grid software using Generalised Procrustes Analysis (GPA). This methodology creates a 3D visualisation of the agile assessment criteria derived from the interviews. By comparing the spatial distances between construct clusters and elements the researcher and reader able to assess whether an organisation has incorporated agile practices and traits or can further advance to react more agile and flexible to external forces. Repertory grid structured interviews based on PCP generate simultaneously quantitative and qualitative results. As these are compared to the literature-based findings, it reflects a triangulation research approach.
