Abstract

Abstract The Role Construct Repertory Test (RCRT) of George Kelly's personality theory has been used as an indirect measure of sexual identification by several investigators. They have assumed to date that unselected males taking the test will see similarities in constructs between themselves and other male figures on the test (e.g., their fathers, male teachers, etc.), and that unselected females will so “identify” with female figures. The present study tested this hypothesis, using a group of 103 college students (51 males, 52 females). The test was scored in four slightly different ways. Results indicate that the scoring methods have moderate to low reliability on re-test, but that differences in the predicted direction can be found. Normal individuals do identify with sex-appropriate role figures on the RCRT.
