Area of Science:

Psychology
Computer Science
Data Analysis

Background:

Repertory grid technique is a valuable tool for eliciting personal constructs.
Analyzing individual repertory grids can be complex and time-consuming.
Existing methods may not efficiently handle different grid formats or missing data.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a BASIC computer program designed for analyzing individual repertory grids.
To provide a method for systematically rearranging repertory grids.
To facilitate the identification of similarities among constructs and elements.

Main Methods:

Development of a BASIC computer program for repertory grid analysis.
Application of single-link hierarchical cluster analysis to assess construct and element similarities.
Adaptability to rating, ranked, or dichotomous grid formats.
Capability to handle missing data entries within the grids.

Main Results:

The program generates a rearranged repertory grid.
Similar constructs are systematically grouped together.
Similar elements are systematically grouped together.
The analysis effectively identifies relationships within the grid data.

Conclusions:

The described BASIC program offers an efficient method for analyzing individual repertory grids.
The program enhances data interpretation by grouping similar constructs and elements.
Its flexibility with different grid types and missing data makes it a practical tool for researchers.
