“…In the initial part of the RGT application, it is essential to present the elements that will be part of the grid if the participants do not know them. As reported by Süner and Erbuğ (2016), the mere presentation of images may be in sufficient for a good understanding of the participants. As a consequence, when the grid is filled, it may not have con sistent information.…”

“…However, it was easier when they were al lowed to use pen and paper to describe their requirements in a tabular format. Süner and Erbuğ (2016) found difficulty in building con structors. Most of the construct poles were simply proposed by adding "not" in front of the original construct or describ ing the two poles as "easy to ... / difficult to ...".…”

“…In addition, the research reports that the results can be harmed when the participants do not know the elements and that only present ing images is insufficient to obtain consistent results. "Lack of an equal amount of experience with each product resulted in limitations in participant comments as well as reflections on the imagined attributes of the product" (Süner and Erbuğ, 2016).…”

With the aging society, there is an increasing need for services and software focused on older people. Digital games are one option of software to be provided as tools for entertainment, education, and well-being. However, to deliver these benefits, games must be developed according to the needs and preferences of older people. Seeking to improve the process of eliciting preferences from the target public, we applied Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) during the participatory design of a game. RGT is a cognitive interviewing technique based on Personal Construct Psychology, which has applications in different areas, including computer science. Although many articles discuss the application of RGT in the development of systems, we did not find, in the literature, any application of the technique with older people. We developed a game focusing on older people to understand better how such technique could contribute to game development, following action research methodology. We carried out three cycles of action research, all of which involved the use of RGT. The results indicate some benefits of using RGT instead of traditional semi-structured interviews. The main contribution of this work is to provide researchers with an initial understanding of the benefits of the application of the Repertory Grid Technique for the interviews with older people and how to use it during a participatory design.

“…the participants were encouraged to explain their constructs to obtain a clear and deeper understanding. It is a strong tool for eliciting in-depth, value-laden "superordinate" constructs (e.g., Süner and Erbuğ 2016). Also, they were asked to rate the designs according to the constructs using a seven-point scale.…”

“…As Kuru (2016) claimed, the applicability of RG in qualitative and quantitative data collection makes it utilisable at different stages of a design process. When requirement elicitation is the first and most crucial activity at an early design stage, RG can be adopted to understand initial user needs and requirements through comparison of design ideas (e.g., Kuru 2016, Süner & Erbuğ, 2016. At the evaluation stage, it can be applied to analyse the specific criteria people use to evaluate a design (e.g.…”

Culture plays an essential role in the success of product design, especially in the age of a global economy where there is a high probability of discrepancy between the designer's intention and the consumer's response. However, the role of culture is often challenging to identify and measure. In the current paper, we employed Repertory Grids (RG) to investigate differences in UK and Chinese participants' evaluations of designs, which were themselves from both UK and Chinese students. The techniques of Honey's Content Analysis (HCA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) were applied to integrate the analysis of both the collected qualitative and quantitative data. The results show that the two groups tended to focus on a similar range of design aspects (i.e. aesthetics, form/shape, usability, creativity, and functionality), but apply different criteria in evaluating such aspects.The UK and Chinese designs were found to be distinctive from each other and tended to appeal more to the people from the same cultural background. The findings reveal the interplay between culture and design and underline the importance of integrating culture into design education.
