description As an exploratory study, a sample of five anorexia nervosa subjects, diagnosed on standardized criteria, were tested while hospitalized for treatment, on elicited and assigned construct repertory grids, where the latter grid's construction reflected aspects of central interest to the syndrome. The two repertory grids for each subject were processed using Slater's (1972) "INGRID 72 PROGRAM : the principal components analysis for the repertory grid", and comprehensive data is tabulated and discussed with reference to each subject's psychological grid space. A comparison of the efficacy of the two repertory grid measures is discussed and nomothetic data is descriptively presented and viewed in terms of the literature. Suggestions for more refined repertory grid investigation in this area are forwarded.
