Regarding Tim Connor's search for constructivist developmental research:
You might be interested in looking at the constructivist research in
communication studies, much of which focused on linking construct system

Jim Applegate's review in _Advances in Personal Construct Psychology,
Vol. 1_ (1990) should point you to the original sources.
