Description
As an introduction to facet theory, this book is good. . . . Many simple examples. --Publication of International Statistical Institute Through the use of detailed examples, the authors introduce readers to the use of facet theory as a method for integrating content design with data analysis. They show how facet theory provides a strategy for conceptualizing a study, for formulating the study's variables in terms of its purposes, for systematic sampling of the variables, and for formulating hypotheses. The book is organized into two parts. Part I introduces the reader to mapping with specific emphasis on mapping sentences, and Part II explores procedures for processing multivariate data. The book concludes with a discussion of the nature of scientific inquiry and the difference between a research question and observational questions. Introduction to Facet Theory will provide researchers with a useful technique for constructing questionnaires and for designing research instruments.

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)
