Introduction to Facet Theory and its Applications

Introduction to Facet Theory and its Applications Although facet theory has roots in Guttman's writings as early as the 1950s (cf. Guttman, 1954), frequent applications of facet analysis did not begin to appear until around the 1970s. Guttman first applied his theoretical perspective to problems in the area of the structure of intelligence (e.g. Guttman, 1957; 1965). In the years that have followed since those early publications, empirical research using facet theory has flourished in countries on several continents and in a wide variety of content areas in the social and behavioural sciences. This introduction first briefly reviews the basic principles underlying facet theory. Then it introduces the six papers that follow in which facet theory is applied to research in psychology. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Psychology Wiley

Abstract

Although facet theory has roots in Guttman's writings as early as the 1950s (cf. Guttman, 1954), frequent applications of facet analysis did not begin to appear until around the 1970s. Guttman first applied his theoretical perspective to problems in the area of the structure of intelligence (e.g. Guttman, 1957; 1965). In the years that have followed since those early publications, empirical research using facet theory has flourished in countries on several continents and in a wide variety of content areas in the social and behavioural sciences. This introduction first briefly reviews the basic principles underlying facet theory. Then it introduces the six papers that follow in which facet theory is applied to research in psychology.
