Students were asked to complete separate Repertory Grids for their family members and for their college professors. The constructs elicited for each group (family members versus professors) were rated as more appropriate for the group for which they were elicited than for the other group. The responses on the REP Grid for professors were somewhat simpler than those on the REP Grid for family members.
