Can anyone identify articles that have used concept mapping technology (Trochim, 1989) to generate survey tools for use in other studies? I was directed to one example (see link below), but I hope to find others.
Kane & Trochim (2007) have a book, Concept Mapping for Planning and Evaluation, that gives considerable detail about their general approach.
Personally, I think their approach is unnecessarily elaborate (and I have some technical doubts about how they accomplish their merger of multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis).
