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.
