Abstract

This article aims at advancing in the formalization of a general theory of subjecive theories. It consists of a proposal that contains the ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions that are essential in order to sustain the theory, based on which the proposal reconsiders the key concepts being used and formulates basic propositions to state it. Apart from providing theoretical support in central aspects for the study of subjective theories, the goal of our work is to be useful when applying the theory in a diversity of psychological research fields, as well as when intervening to produce change in subjective theories and in the way they orient behavior
