| Question | Answer |
| Basic (Fundamental) Postulate | people act as scientists, predicting the world around them |
| Personal Constructs | Tools used to interpret, explain, give meaning, predict the future |
| Templates | changed and reframed when predictions are proved wrong |
| Construct system | collection of malleable constructs |
| Constructive Alternativism | how you apply constructs to a situation: Flexible or rigid |
| Supporting Corollaries | 11 corollaries; can be inferred from basic postulate; construction, individuality, organization, modulation, commonality, sociality |
| Corollary: Construction | based on whether events will repeat themselves |
| Corollary: Organization | superordinate; subordinate |
| Corollary: Commonality | similar constructs in tight groups/ families |
| Corollary: Sociality | social exchange; roles(teacher/student) |
| Dichotomy Corollary | there are two sides to every construct; individualized |
| Range Corollary | includes all of the events to which the construct is relevant; range of convenience |
| Experience Corollary | construct system varies as replications of events are successively construed. |
| Fragmentation Corollary | different constructs are constantly being used; inconsistencies are inevitable |
| CPC Cycle | circumspection phase, preemption, control phase |
| Loosened Construction Phase | Constructs are flexible because they are still being tested |
| Tightened Construction Phase | Working constructs have been found and tested, so they are used more rigidly |
| Kellian Motivation | people are born motivated |
| Kellian Anxiety | due to bad predictive efficiency. Sign of a failed CS |
| Kellian Hostility | refusing to give up a construct that is ineffective (opposite of aggression) |
| Kellian Aggression | applies constructs to things it shouldn't (opposite of hostility) forces a construct |
| Kellian Guilt | act in a way inconsistent with construct of role (as husband/parent/friend) |
| Kellian Threat | imminent change probable; threatens understanding of how things work |
| Fear | similar to threat, but less severe |
| Learning | altering CS for better predictive efficiency |
| Kellian Reinforcement | validation of a construct causes repeated use of it |
| psychotherapy | reframing of the individual's perspective is the main focus |
| fixed-role therapy | therapist asks the client to act out a certain personality while in therapy; try on a different way of thinking |
| Criticism | difficulty in predicting behavior, ignored important parts of the personality |
