Abstract
The implications of some assumptions of personal construct psychology far research methodology are considered here. When four available models of data collection are examined, one proves to be the most appropriate for constructivists. The sequential stages of this model are identified, and the extent to which current data-collection methods include these stages is discussed. These constructivist assumptions also have implications for the criteria by which these methods are evaluated.Keywords
