Psychology question? Consciousness?

[MichelleVo]

Is a hypothetical construct and a psychological construct the same thing?
(In relation to consciousness and how it is measured)

There's no mention of hypothetical construct in grivas I think. When talking about conciousness we usually use the term psychological construct.

In the Nelson textbook it only refers to consciousness as a 'hypothetical construct'. It was only after I read the Study On Psychology Unit 3 booklet and researched it that I found the term 'psychological construct'. I'm assuming that's the correct term because it's also mentioned in the study design, but they both describe the same concept. Anyways thanks for clearing that up
