Description
Facet Theory (FT) is presented in this volume as a methodological approach that combines content design and data analysis. Following a brief overview of FT design, FT data analysis and the correspondence hypotheses between the two, the authors consider the role facets play in observations and equivalence relations and discuss in detail: mapping sentences and their common range; constructing questionnaire items; correspondence hypotheses relating to FT design; bivariate regression hypotheses; and how to analyze data profiles with hypotheses for structuples and similarity structures. In conclusion, the issues of using FT in practice including measurement theory and significance testing are addressed.

Research Interests: -Developing a systemic approach as a meta-theory for the study of behavioral action systems; developing facet theory and multiple scaling for measurement as a structural theory.
-Application of facet theory and the systemic approach to the study of:
-Quality of life (theory, indicators and a basis for motivation theory and decision making) The systemic Quality of life - bibliography list
-Distributive Justice (theory and models for the just allocation of social and economic resources)
- Artificial and human intelligence; Creativity and creative problem solving (theory, test construction and assessment)
- Investigative Psychology and offender profiling (associating crime scenes and offenders' profiles and developing computer aided procedures)
- Other domains (incl. Educational Evaluation; Project assessments; Organizations)
