I have wondered about that question also, since both methods
appear to differ from traditional scaling techniques in their
focus on eliciting from the viewpoint of the subjective construct
rather than the observer's view of behavior. I have a book on
Q-methodolgy in the Sage Quantitative methods series, and one on
the use of Q-methodology in political studies, but neither deals
with PCP/rep-grids.
I'd be interested in knowing what you find out.
By the way, do you have first initials/names on that book you
mentioned? Care to tell us more about it?
Thanks

Patrick Slater writes of the similarities and differences
between Q-methodology first introduced by Stephenson in 1953
and rep grid methodology in his 1977 book "Explorations
in Personal Space" vol. 1. (Wiley). I believe he was the first
to write of this.
