Children’s Perceptions of a Transgressor’s Socialization as a Function of Type of Reprimand
Kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th graders were asked to evaluate actors in filmed sequences depicting accidental or intentional damage followed by expiation, explanation, or no reprimand. Kindergarteners rated both reprimanded actors more negatively, and 6th graders rated both more positively, than the nonreprimanted actor. 3rd graders rated the explanation-receiving transgressor more positively than the nonreprimanded transgressor, while rating the exp…

Constructionism, Personal Construct Psychology and Narrative Psychology
Constructionist explanations of behavior, in general, have become more acceptable as scientists have adopted constructionist positions regarding their own systems of knowledge. Personal construct psychology approaches and narrative psychology approaches, which share philosophical foundations with social constructionism, can be coalesced to provide a substantial theoretical base for the behavioral sciences. The attempt to adapt the principles of e…
The Socializing of Personal Constructions
This response contains a resubmission of the claim that the social processes involved in these cross-comments exemplify the major tenet of the principal essay: personal constructs stand as a central strand of the context surrounding interactions wherein actors carry on the psychological work of evolving social constructions. Responding-from their personal construct systems, Burkitt (1996) and Wortham (1996) reiterate the invalidity of the use of …

Inferences of mental illness from noninvolvement
These studies continue the exploration of variables related to a person's use of the mental illness categorization. The central concern in the present studies was the effect of perceived variation in a target person's level of involvement in a social situation. While a low level of involvement, as portrayed in videotaped scenarios, prompts attribution of mental illness, other features of implicit personality theories also relate to greater or les…
To measure attributed mental illness1
This work follows from the assumption that person perception processes allow people to categorize others, and, thereupon, to predict the perceived person's behaviors. A scale, the Mental Illness Behaviors Prediction Scale (MIBPS) was developed for use in studies of ascribed mental illness. The MIBPS is comprised of fifteen items, each of which describes a situation and four alternative behaviors scaled for "mental illness level." The alternatives…
A self in a transaction
Weitz, Hughes, Newbrough, Wallston, Armstrong, and Roback (1978), in presenting a rationale for a transactional approach to therapy have focused on a significant problem in current personality theorizing. The question raised is seen to be: How do we justify including the person-as-cause in a meaningful theory of behavior? Their rationale extends those current trends in cognitive research which would include a conception of the person-as-process t…
