The thesis received the grade Sobresaliente cum laude.<\/p>\n<p>The research addresses a central question for GICUNED: how to represent relationships between personal meanings and study the consequences people anticipate when considering change. It brings together Personal Construct Psychology, graph theory and fuzzy cognitive maps.<\/p>\n<p>The thesis integrates the Weighted Implication Grid (WimpGrid), mathematical indicators and computational developments, together with an initial psychometric evaluation. It is linked to the joint creation of GridFCM and PsychLab by Alejandro Sanfeliciano and Luis \u00c1ngel Sa\u00fal within the group\u2019s research programme.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Alejandro!
