(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Despite the similarity in terminology, the cognitive movement has not embraced Kelly's work because the theory is not consistent with the movement's subject matter and methods. Kelly's approach is that of a clinician dealing with the conscious constructs by which people arrange their lives, whereas cognitive psychologists are interested in both cognitive variables and overt behavior, which they study primarily in an experimental, not a clinical, setting.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Kelly concluded that people function in the same way scientists do. Both are concerned with predicting and controlling the events in their lives, and both are capable of doing so rationally.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Kelly warned us that we would not find in his system such familiar concepts as the unconscious, the ego, needs, drives, stimuli and responses, and reinforcementnot even motivation and emotion.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Many psychologists see Kelly's theory as too different from prevailing ideas. Personality psychologists typically think in terms of the familiar concepts of motivation and emotion, unconscious forces, drives, and needs, which form no part of Kelly's system.
