    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • The serial invalidation hypothesis suggests repeated invalidation loosens conceptual organization.
    • Constructs, or dimensions of judgment, may become less related under invalidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To test Bannister's serial invalidation hypothesis.
    • To investigate the impact of invalidating feedback on conceptual organization.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a variant of Kelly's repertory grid methodology.
    • Thirty university students rated career roles on constructs.
    • Participants received invalidating or validating feedback on their judgments.

    Main Results:

    • Invalidation significantly loosened conceptual organization.

  • This effect was pronounced in participants with initially strong construct relations.
  • Participants with weaker initial construct relations showed no significant effect.

    • Conclusions:

    • The serial invalidation hypothesis was supported for individuals with strong initial construct relations.
    • Cognitive feedback, specifically invalidation, can alter the structure of personal constructs.
