The Personal Construction of Representation Modality

This paper describes the use of the Repertory Grid Technique as a method of externalizing people's experience of three types of modalities used to represent the same data stream. The primary aim of this study is to test the methodology, so from a repertory grid study that included 12 participants, we focused the analysis presented in this paper on one participants’ response. Future work will include examining multiple views in an attempt to explore the extent to which a concept is shared among a group of people as well as adapting the technique to be more efficient and effective at exploring a group of peoples’ experience at the same time.
