Abstract
This chapter describes the content and organization of the experiential system, one of the two modes of information processing invoked in the cognitive-experiential theory (CET) of personality, the other being the rational system. More specifically, it examines implicit basic needs and the implicit beliefs derived from them, along with the connection between emotions and implicit beliefs. It also considers the encoding of implicit beliefs and the organization of implicit theories of reality. Finally, it discusses two kinds of implicit beliefs, or schemas, in people's experiential systems according to CET: descriptive schemas and motivational schemas.
