Repertory Grids Supporting In-depth Interviews and Diary-keeping
Professor Jonathan Smith, at Birkbeck University, conducted an interpretative phenomenological analytic research study investigating pregnancy and the transition to motherhood. This research principally gathered data using in-depth interviews and diary keeping. However, the data gathered in the interviews and diaries were supported by data gathered using repertory grids. The repertory grids were used to explore the way in which the participants perceived or constructed their personal and social worlds, with the elements of the grid representing important aspects of a participant as well as significant others in their life.
