A repertory grid task was administered individually to 79 Canadian undergraduates (43 men, 36 women) in which they rated 11 personal acquaintances from 1 to 5 on each of 12 bipolar constructs (e.g., generous-stingy). The extent to which these participants used different constructs independently in rating others ("cognitive complexity") related positively to their degree of confidence in their own self-evaluations across the same constructs. There was no significant gender difference or interaction involving gender. This finding is discussed within the framework of Kelly's (1955) personal construct theory. |
