Apply Kelly’s personal construct theory to Colleen’s college experiences. What appear to be her superordinate constructs? Are her constructs permeable?
What will be an ideal response?
Colleen’s superordinate constructs revolve around her Southern heritage but she obviously has other constructs that are important in this particular case study, specifically, her constructs about academic work and how to interact with others. These latter constructs do not appear to be permeable. It is obvious that her approach in both regards is not working well and yet, rather than change her behavior, Colleen is instead considering moving back to an area where her approach would work.
