Abstract
In this computer demonstration a new windows version of the GRIDCOR program for reper-tory grid analysis will be presented (GRICOR v.3.0). GRIDCOR v.3.0 (Feixas and Comejo, 1999) uses a form of mathematical analysis known as Correspondence Analysis (CA). First, the main advantages of CA over Principal Component Analysis will be highlighted with its application to a case example. Second, the mathematical analyses performed by GRIDCOR v.3.0 (Correspondence Analysis, Cluster analysis-focusing the grid--and distances and corre-lation matrices for both elements and constructs) and also their graphical output will be pre-sented. Finally, the cognitive indexes that the program calculates will be discussed.
