George A. Kelly

George A. Kelly was a psychologist known for developing Personal Construct Theory, which suggests that people view the world through their own unique set of mental filters or "constructs." These constructs are how we interpret and predict events based on past experiences, helping us make sense of our surroundings and guide our behavior. Kelly believed that understanding these personal constructs can help us better understand ourselves and others, improving communication and problem-solving. His work emphasizes that individuals are active participants in shaping their understanding of the world, rather than passive observers.
