Repertory grid tools systematically collect data that consists of a topic, its elements, constructs and element ratings. Gaining meaningful insights from repertory grids data is a challenge because data analysis is timeconsuming and a significant mental effort is needed. Visualizations aim at facilitating data analysis through a visual and interactive approach, which allows users to understand ...

In this paper we empirically investigate the concept of trust using organizational work practices in three groups: within the team, between teams and when interacting with technology. This study adopts Repertory Grid methodology as an interview based technique to elicit important constructs of trust to team members working in two organizations within the energy distribution industry. Thirteen k...

This paper illustrates the malleable boundaries that define nature. Personal construct theory is employed to examine the apparent contradiction of the human/nature binary posed by landscapes generated by domesticated agriculture and physical and biological processes. Specifically, the paper reports on how tourists to the Kimberley region of Australia discriminate between their perception of hum...

In the following an approach for the quantitative inclusion of the soft-factor cooperation climate in the enterprise oriented performance analysis is presented. This quantitative analysis is realised by an adapted value benefit analysis in combination with the Repertory Grid methodology. Through this a comprehensive model representing value-adding process related and valueadding-process neutral...

The architecture of a software-intensive system is the composition of architectural design decisions. These decisions are an important part of Architectural Knowledge (AK). Failure to document architectural design decisions can lead to AK vaporization and higher maintenance costs. To reduce AK vaporization, we propose to apply the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) to make tacit knowledge about arc...

The Repertory Grid Technique was used to study the construct systems of patients diagnosed as Endogenous and Neurotic Depressions. Twenty-five patients of each category were administered a Rank Order Repertory Grid comprising ten elements and fifteen constructs. The completed matrices were subjected to principal component analysis. Inter-element distance was used as the psychological measure to...

In this paper we introduce, discuss, and empirically demonstrate ways in which the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) may be used as a tool for dealing with user experience and affective evaluation. An empirical study using the technique in the context of mobile interaction is used to illustrate various uses and features of the technique and how it may be applied in HCI research and design.

Competence is difficult to define. Continuous assessment of practice, which involves reviewing the literature, is complex. The study involved developing a suitable tool for assessing competent practice of student nurses. The problem was investigated using Personal Construct Theory and Repertory Grid Technique. The findings suggest that trained staff assess the socialisation process of becoming ...
