Personal construct theory and repertory grid methodology were applied to a study of psychological change experienced by a sample of ten neurotic depressives and their matched controls during short-term hospitalization. All subjects completed a repertory grid and the Zung depression scale on admission to hospital. Depressives were characterized by lower self-esteem, more negative social perception and higher scores on the Zung scale. Both measures were repeated at the time of discharge from hospital. Depressives showed a significant reduction in depressive mood, more positive social perception, and a change in th construing of the self; controls showed no changes. It is argued that the use of a quantitative assessment technique reinforced by a theoretical framework results in a more refined understanding of psychological change.
个人建构理论和 repertory 网格法被应用于一项研究，该研究针对十名神经症抑郁症患者及其匹配的对照组在短期住院期间所经历的心理变化。所有受试者在入院时均完成了 repertory 网格和zung 抑郁量表。抑郁症患者的特点是自尊较低、社会认知更消极且zung 量表得分更高。这两项测量在出院时都再次进行。抑郁症患者的抑郁情绪显著减轻，社会认知更积极，且自我认知发生了变化；对照组则没有变化。有人认为，在理论框架的支持下使用定量评估技术能更精细地理解心理变化。
