Abstract
This article presents an overview, description, and assessment of the Associative Group Analysis method for studying conceptual development and changes in belief systems. Three specific applications to evaluation research tasks are used to illustrate its potential. AGA is found to be particularly useful when cross-cultural issues, beliefs, integration, and adaptation are at issue. Evaluators are encouraged to explore AGA's utility.Keywords
