Hypothetical constructs

Nonobservable postulated events that are said to explain behavior. For example, Freud's mental device "ego" is a hypothetical construct. From a behavioural perspective, the difficulty is that the mental construct is not directly observable. That is, there is no objective way of getting information about such events except by observing the behaviour of people.
