Can We See Ourselves Changing? Toward a Personal Construct Model of Adult Development
The purpose of this article is to create a scaffold for a constructivist model of adult psychosocial development. Personal construct psychology is introduced, followed by examination of its approach to personal change and to life-span development. Other constructivist concepts such as transition, narrative, shared social construction, and the dialectic are also examined. The theoretical framework they provide is compared with other theoretical ap…
A Sociophenomenological Approach to Life-Span Development Complementing Erikson’s Sociodynamic Approach
A sociophenomenological approach to psychological development across the life span, complementing that of Erikson, was tested in this study. The Content Analysis Scales of Psychosocial Maturity (CASPM) were applied to transcripts of oral communications from samples of seven age cohorts. The total sample of 813 had an age range of 6–86 years, with the sexes equally represented. CASPM used content analysis to identify eight pairs of positive and ne…
Using the Origin and Pawn, Positive Affect, CASPM, and Cognitive Anxiety Content Analysis Scales in Counseling Research
Content analysis scales apply rigorous measurement to verbal communications and make possible the quantification of text in counseling research. The limitations of the Origin and Pawn Scales (M. T Westbrook & L. L Viney. 1980). the Positive Affect Scale (M. T. Westbrook, 19 76), the Content Analysis Scales of Psychosocial Maturity (CASPM, L. L. Viney & A. M. Tych. 1985), and the Cognitive Anxiety Scale (L. L Viney & M T. Westbrook. 1976) are here…

The Quality of Life of Palliative Care Staff
Palliative care staff were compared with staff from burn and neonatal units, and with mature age general nursing trainees at the end of their training. Hypotheses, based on a personal construct model of their quality of life, sources of anxiety, and types of social interactions were tested. These tests were conducted by applying content analysis scales to their responses to an open-ended request in their interview schedule. The palliative care st…
The Psychosocial Impact of Multiple Deaths from Aids
The cumulative psychosocial impact of multiple deaths due to AIDS within a single, gay community was examined. A personal construct psychology model of bereavement was used to generate hypotheses about the psychosocial functioning of the members of two gay communities differing in the extent of their bereavement. Their psychosocial functioning was assessed through content analysis of their responses to an open-ended interview question. Two hundre…
The personal construct theory of death and loss
The personal construct theory approach to death and loss is presented in this article, with its focus on the many parallel processes of mourning in contrast with a predetermined series of stages. A description of the general theory is first provided, and then the theory of psychotherapy based on it is discussed. Finally, this approach is applied to death and loss, and some details of the mourning of a couple, before and after the husband dies, he…
Psychological frailness and strength in an Aids‐affected community
Addressed both the psychological frailness and strength in an AIDS-affected community. The gay community in Sydney, Australia, was represented by men who were seropositive (n = 60) and voluntary caregivers (n = 60). They were compared with two samples of men outside the gay community, who were ill with non-AIDS-related medical conditions (n = 30), and well (n = 30). Their psychological frailness and strength were measured by content analysis scal…

An evaluation of personal construct therapy for the elderly
Short‐term personal construct therapy was implemented with a group of elderly people, and its effects on their psychological states evaluated using content analysis scales. The states of these elderly were compared with those of two groups, one of well‐functioning elderly and the other a group of elderly who were matched with the psychotherapy group for age, sex and type of chronic illness. Neither control group had psychotherapy. When compared w…
The emotional reactions of HIV antibody positive men
This study was concerned with the emotional reaction of men who are HIV antibody positive, and with whether their expression of enjoyment is better viewed as the result of rigid defending or flexible coping. A sample of these men was matched with samples of patients with other major illnesses and well controls. Enjoyment was found to be more frequently expressed in the two ill samples, as were anxiety, depression and helplessness. The HIV antibod…
Is There a Pattern of Psychological Reactions to Chronic Illness Which is Associated with Death
In order to identify any pattern of psychological reactions to illness associated with later death, interview material from a sample of chronically ill people who died within months of being interviewed was compared with similar material from a sample of chronically ill people who did not die, as well as from a group of healthy people who did not die. The samples were matched for sex and age, and, where appropriate, for degree of disability and t…
Construing God
This study explores the subjective experience of individuals as they intract with God It is proposed that through the model of personal construct psychology insights can be gained into people's perceptions of God, the roles God plays in their lives, and the affective implications of such interactions. Subjective experience was assessed using content analysis of verbalizations from 150 people identifying themselves as Christians. Four kinds of int…
The Bereavement Process
Loss of Life and Loss of Bodily Integrity
Personal construct theory was used to generate some questions about the meanings that different types of threat–loss of life and loss of bodily integrity–hold for people who are severely ill. Content analyses of the responses of ill people and healthy people indicated that ill people expressed more concern with both types of threat than healthy people. Ill people who were suffering from acute rather than chronic illness, who were scheduled for su…
A Personal Construct Approach to the Conjugally Bereaved Woman
Kelly's theory of personal constructs has been applied to generate an explanation of the normal processes of grief and mourning, using widowhood as an example. The psychological states characteristic of widowhood–shock and numbness, stress, anger, anxiety, guilt, sadness, despair, hostility, idealization, depression, and psychological reorganization–are viewed as manifestations of changes in parts of the widow's personal construct system. These c…
They call you a dole bludger”
The responses of 100 unemployed people to an open-ended question about their current experiences were content analyzed to yield assessments of their current experiences. The experiential elements of Set 1 were uncertainty, anxiety, depression, anger (directly and indirectly expressed), good feelings, helplessness, competence, and alienation. Set 2 consisted of an expansion of the anxiety element, and Set 3, of the alienation element. When their s…
An evaluation of three crisis intervention programmes for general hospital patients
Three crisis intervention programmes were implemented on the basis of prior research and observation with patients in a general hospital. Programme 1 had been designed to decrease their anxiety and depression, programme 2 to decrease their indirectly expressed anger and increase anger which was directly expressed, and programme 3 to decrease the feelings of helplessness and increase their levels of competence. Examination of the psychological sta…

The primary prevention of illness
There is evidence to be inferred from statistics about health status and mortality rates that a large proportion of illness and premature death is preventable. Primary prevention programmes appear to have had only limited success when individuals need to take responsibility for preserving their own health. This paper examines the concept of primary prevention and its assumptions, including the need to increase the sense of personal power of indiv…
Experiences of volunteer telephone counselors
To compare the effects on counseling experience of two different training programs, three counseling reports from each member of two groups of volunteer telephone counselors were content analysed.

The application of content analysis scales to life stress research
Application of the Gottschalk-Gleser scales to life stress research has led to greater use being made of anxiety subscale scores, the development of additional content analysis scales measuring cognitive anxiety and positive affect, and toe use of a cost ratio to express people's overall experience of an event. Methods for studying affective reactions over time and for eliciting verbal samples for retrospective research are discussed and some Aus…

The primary prevention of illness
Health care systems in Australia are focused primarily on the treatment of presenting illness. Much of this illness is known to be psycho-social in origin. Primary intervention, by psychologists among others, aimed at attempting to prevent such ill health therefore seems a most appropriate addition to the already existing systems. The concept of primary prevention is explored in this article, with a focus on the development of more competent copi…

Defense Mechanism Preferences and the Expression of Anxiety
The study was designed to assess the relationships between certain expressions of anxiety and preferences for defense mechanisms. Those subjects for whom the preferred defense mechanism was found (by the DM1) to be Principalization (PRN) revealed significantly lower scores on the three interrelating indices of anxiety involving awareness and avowal of lack of emotional control (TMAS, AACL and UJ.24) than those who did not make that choice. They h…

Children Coping With Crisis in Papua New Guinea and Australia
The extinction period of an instrumental learning paradigm was employed,. as by Viney and Clarke (1974), as an experimental analogue of Caplan's concept of crisis. Data from Papua New Guinea and Australian preschool children indicated that: (1) Papua New Guinea children made more fixed responses, as predicted, but showed fewer “giving up” reactions than Australian children; (2) no differences were found between children from two Papua New Guinea …

The affective reactions of two groups of housewives who had recently experienced relocation in a new community (in Australia) were compared. They revealed a pattern which was highly similar for the two groups, although they differed in socioeconomic status, as well as marital, education, vocational, and mental health status. The pattern featured feelings of loneliness and inadequacy and a need for cognitive mastery of the new environment, but als…
Patients' expectations of the therapist role
A pool of items concerned with expectations of the therapist role was administered in two forms (original and reduced) to two samples of patients making their initial contact at a psychiatric outpatient clinic. Five of the eight factors from the first patient sample were consistent with the client-centered model. In the second sample, of the four factors extracted Empathy and Commitment formed one factor independently of Genuineness. In both samp…
Sociality
Conceptualizations of positive interpersonal relationships by Danziger (1976) and Osgood (1970) formed the basis of. a content analysis scale for verbalizations. The resulting Sociality Scale score (SS) is the total of seven subscales. The relationship types of Solidarity, Intimacy, influence and undifferentiated Shared Experience form one subset of subscales, and the relationship roles of Reactor, Initiator and Joint Actor form the other. SS pro…
