“… 2 Another solution to this problem was provided by Bassler, Krauthauser, and Hoffmann (1992) , who developed the Correlation Test program in cooperation with a software company: “This program evaluates signs as well as the magnitudes of correlation coefficients, in that the two greatest correlations are brought into a proportional relation by multiplying them. The result is equivalent to the proportion of variance jointly accounted for by these two variables.…”

The idea that internal conflicts play a significant role in mental health has been extensively addressed in various psychological traditions, including personal construct theory. In the context of the latter, several measures of conflict have been operationalized using the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT). All of them capture the notion that change, although desirable from the viewpoint of a given set of constructs, becomes undesirable from the perspective of other constructs. The goal of this study is to explore the presence of cognitive conflicts in a clinical sample (n = 284) and compare it to a control sample (n = 322). It is also meant to clarify which among the different types of conflict studied provides a greater clinical value and to investigate its relationship to symptom severity (SCL-90-R). Of the types of cognitive conflict studied, implicative dilemmas were the only ones to discriminate between clinical and nonclinical samples. These dilemmas were found in 34% of the nonclinical sample and in 53% of the clinical sample. Participants with implicative dilemmas showed higher symptom severity, and those from the clinical sample displayed a higher frequency of dilemmas than those from the nonclinical sample.

“…Consistent Laddering also relies on detecting logical inconsistency in the network of constructs by inspecting triads of constructs for (im)balance. Checking triads of constructs for (im)balance has already been in use in Repertory Grids (see Slade et al 1975, Bassler et al 1992), a research technique that also belongs to the field of personal construct psychology, and is mainly used for the purpose of psychotherapy. It has been introduced to the field of personal construct psychology by Slade et al (1979), who modelled their approach after Lauterbach's (1975) technique for assessing psychological conflict, and Heider's (1946) initial work on balance theory.…”

Consistent Laddering is an interviewing technique that is build on top of Laddering technique, which has been used most often in psychotherapy, consumer research, and knowledge acquisition. This paper points out distinctions and advantages of Consistent Laddering over the original technique, as well as some difficulties that concern both techniques. The main purpose of this article is to show how Consistent Laddering interviews are conducted, and how measures employed in this technique are used to detect difficulties that can occur in an interview. Because it is not possible to conduct Consistent Laddering interviews without a computer program, corresponding software, named CLAD, has been developed.
