TY - JOUR PY - 1981// TI - Drugs and people: repertory grid structure and the construal of two different kinds of target JO - Journal of clinical psychology (Hoboken) A1 - Leenaars, A. A. SP - 198 EP - 201 VL - 37 IS - 1 N2 - Undertook an investigation of the construal of drugs and people by Ss to compare the perception of drugs with the perception of people. Kelly's repertory grid (1955) was used in the investigation. A significant finding of the operation of a shift from seeing people as less positive (more negative) and drugs as more positive (less negative) resulted as S's shifted from normal state of consciousness to a simulated altered state of consciousness. However, this shift was found to differ significantly in terms of more lability for Ss who were designated as seeing more similarity in different targets than Ss who were designated as seeing more differences in different targets.
