ABSTRACT
It is not the intention, and it is not possible, in the space of this chapter to give
detailed instruction on how to complete repertory grids but rather to outline the
purpose and some of the possibilities of the technique. Few psychological theories
can be so inextricably linked with one research method as personal construct theory
and repertory grid technique, although the reverse is not always the case; many
researchers have used repertory grids pragmatically as a methodological tool to
explore areas such as attitudinal change. The underlying method has remained
relatively constant since Kelly first developed the Role Construct Repertory Test.
