gridsampler: A simulation tool to determine the required sample size for repertory grid studies

Introduction

A common approach for analyzing multiple repertory grid data is sorting the elicited constructs into categories using content analysis (e.g. Green, 2004; Jankowicz, 2004). Often the question arises, what sample size would be needed in order to achieve a minimum saturation of a certain number of constructs per category. The gridsampler GUI allows to run simulations in order to answer these type of questions.
