“…Rogers, Kuiper, & Kirker, 1977). At the top of the hierarchy is an extremely abstract, general representation of the self, valid over'time and across different contexts, but not necessarily informative about what one is like in any specific situation (e.g., Kihlstrom & Klein, 1994;Mancuso & Ceely, 1980;Martindale, 1980). Branching out from the top of the hierarchy are subsets representing the self in ever more concrete situations.…”

A priming procedure (e g, Klein, Loftus Trafton, & Fuhrman, 1992) was used to test a hierarchical model of self-knowledge According to this model, people simultaneously hold multiple representations of themselves that differ both in their context specificity and in the type of knowledge of which they consist Specifically, context-independent self-knowledge is assumed to be represented abstractly without reference to any particular behaviors, whereas the representation of context-dependent self-knowledge includes knowledge of one's behavior in specific situations Our results support a hierarchical model Subjects accessed abstract knowledge when describing their context-independent personality characteristics, but accessed behavioral episodes when describing themselves in a specific context Possible implications of this research are discussed, as is the relation of a hierarchical model of self-knowledge to a mixed model of self-knowledge (e g, Klein & Loftus, 1993b)

“…Insecure children experience difficulties in anticipating the outcomes of their personal actions, as it is difficult for them to infer how others will respond to their behavior. It is also difficult for them to construe others, including themselves as persons (Mancuso & Ceely, 1980).Recent research into children's construing of themselves as persons has led to the finding that insecure children experience specific difficulties in (a) construing a positive and stable self-image and (b) their representations of relationships (Procaccia, Veronese,& Castiglioni, 2014).…”

As personal construct psychology is person-centered, child-centered personal construct psychotherapy sets out to have the child the central subject for any psychological enquiry. Child-centered personal construct psychotherapy is developed from the theoretical and practice-based assumptions of personal construct psychology and practiced through the medium of play therapy. Effective psychological change occurs when the child's self-theory is elaborated through the extension and definition of the core construct self-other, with the therapist's construing of the child becoming primary evidence of how the child understands self. Clinical material is provided to further illustrate our child-centered psychotherapeutic approach. AbstractAs personal construct psychology is person-centered, child-centered personal construct

“…The intrapsychic functions of autobiographical memory are the focus of the review; in particular the use of personal recollections to maintain a sense of unity within a causal-explanatory framework or self-theory (Epstein, 1973). This review demonstrates the necessity for renewing a metatheoretical treatment of the self, offering a reconceptualization of the self in terms of purposeful remembering activities (see also Mancuso & Ceely, 1980). In the concluding section, we address the issues of instantiated and constructed self-knowledge and instant self-composition in autobiographical memories as a form of improvisation.…”
