Transcript of Concept Mapping: An Introduction to Structured Conceptualization William Trochim Cornell University.
What is concept mapping?
Focuses and helps objectify the group planning process
Helps individuals think as a group......without losing their individuality
Helps groups to manage complexity......without trivializing or losing detail
A method that...
In about 4 hours of participant time a group can...
...Brainstorm a large set of issues...
• innovations in way network is delivered• (investigate) corporate/structural alignment• assist in the development of non-traditional partnerships (Rehab with
the Medicine Community)• expand investigation and knowledge of PSN'S/PSO's• continue STHCS sponsored forums on public health issues (medicine
managed care forum)• inventory assets of all participating agencies (providers, Venn
Diagrams)• access additional funds for telemedicine expansion • better utilization of current technological bridge• continued support by STHCS to member facilities• expand and encourage utilization of interface programs to strengthen
the viability and to improve the health care delivery system (ie teleconference)
• discussion with CCHN

• The Raw Materials:– Statements – Sort Input from each participant
• The Tools– Aggregation of Sort Data– Similarity Matrix– Multidimensional Scaling– Hierarchical cluster analysis– Anchoring/Bridging Analysis
How Did We Build These Results?
Binary, square similarity matrix
Sort for one participant
Representation
Total square similarity matrix
across participants
Multidimensional Scaling
Output: An n-dimensional mapping of the entities

Multidimensional Scaling
• Directionality– Does MDS know North from
South?
• Dimensionality– Why only two dimensions?
• Stress– How much does it really matter?
Cluster Analysis
• Hierarchical– clusters get built in a tree-like method
• Agglomerative– builds toward all items in one pile (divisive
- all start in one and divide)
• Clustering criterion– the rule used to decide the next cluster
merge– Ward’s algorithm
• Number of Clusters

What is the Bridging Value?
tells you whether the statement was sorted with others that are close to it on the map or whether it was sorted with items that are farther away on
the map.
The Bridging Value
• Helps us interpret what content is associated with specific areas of the map
• Statements with lower bridging values are generally better indicators of the meaning of their part of the map than statements with higher bridging values
• Statements with higher bridging values means statement is a bridge between different areas on map
Compute Bridging Values
• A bridging value always ranges from 0 to 1
• The bridging values are computed after the map is computed.
• The cluster bridging value is simply the average bridging value across all statements in a cluster.
Bridging Value, Step 1
1. We begin by computing the proportion of sorters who put point i and j together in a pile:
m
sp ij
ij
where sij = number of sorters who placed point i and j together in
the same pilem = total number of sorterspij = proportion of sorters who placed point i and j together
in the same pile
Bridging Value, Step 2
2. We compute the Euclidean Distance between all pairs of standardized points:
22 )()( jijiij yyxxd
Where
xi = MDS x-coordinate for point i
yi = MDS y-coordinate for point i
xj = MDS x-coordinate for point j
yj = MDS y-coordinate for point j
dij = standardized Euclidean Distance between points i and j
Bridging Value, Step 3
3. We compute the unstandardized bridging value:
n
jn
jij
ijiji
p
dp
1
1
)*(b
where
bi = bridging raw value for point i
pij = proportion of sorters who placed point i and j
together in the same pile dij = standardized Euclidean Distance between points i
and j
Bridging Value, Step 4
4. Normalize the bridging raw value:
)min()max(
)min(b
bb
bb i
i
Where
bi = bridging raw value for point i
min(b) = minimum of the bi values
max(b)= maximum of the bi values
bi = standardized bridging value
Sort Pile Label Analysis
• finds the “best fitting” sort pile label for a cluster
• done after the map is computed• based on centroid computations

distance
• Every cluster has a centroid• Every sort pile has a centroid
– the average x,y for all items in the pile– this is the best location on the map for
the pile label– can compute the distance between this
label and any other point on the map
• For each cluster– compare distance between its centroid
and each sort pile centroid– best sort pile label is the closest one
