Franz:
A number of years ago Mike Mascolo and I put together a grid
which we called ANGRID. The elements were persons of "different types,"
and the constructs were "situations in which the 'type' might or might
not become angry. The respondent was to indicate the extent to which
he/she expected the "type" to become angry in the described situation.
We did several studies, and we did get some very interesting
results, but we couldn't convince a journal that the papers could be
published.
I still think, of course, that the approach has merit.

Would you be interested in having a copy of the latest version
of ANGRID, and a copy of the paper which we tried to have published??
I say, "latest version," because I did have one of my students
redo the program entirely in rather neat QUICKBASIC.
Unfortunately, I have never gotten around to writing up docs on
the program. Anyone familiar with QUICKBASIC should be able to follow
the program to see what happens.
The end result is a stored grid that the user can retrieve and then
subject to a variety of analyses. Most of the analyses that we have built
into our Parent Role Repertory Grid would work with the ANGRID format.
Rue Cromwell might be able to direct you to some of the references
on PAREP Grid. If not, I can send you a manual.
