Elicitation of core
construct |
The ways of
elicitation
of core constructs are numerous and
based on
different techniques. Core constructs can be explored through
interviewing
techniques such as laddering and ABC. They may be inferred from self-characterization sketches as
constructs which are given greater importance
others and often repeated (Kelly, 1955, says
that emphasis is a sign of
importance). Other elicitation techniques include the use of implication and
bi-implication grids (the constructs with the biggest number of
implications
represent the core constructs) or resistance-to-change
grid (core constructs
are the ones with the biggest number of resistances to change). They
can also
be elicited by the use of numerous qualitative
techniques ("Rivers of Life"; Pope & Denicolo, 2001, "A Pack
of Lies"; Bright, 1986, "Personal reincarnations"; Stojnov, 2003, etc.).
