Kelly (Kelly), George Alexander

(1905 - 1966) - American psychologist, author of the theory of personal constructs. Under this theory, each person is regarded as a kind of researcher who is building the image of the world with certain categorical scales, or 'personal constructors' proper to him. Based on this image of the world are hypotheses about the events, planning and implementation of certain actions. To study these constructs was developed by the method of 'repertory grids'.
