I am interested to know whether: 1, you have heard of the social science approach known as facet theory, 2, have you used facet theory, 3, if you have used facet theory then how have you used this?
The best person to approach is Professor David canter at the University of Huddersfield. See also Jennifer Brown's publication 'An Introduction to the Uses of Facet Theory' in Facet Theory, Springer Series in Social Psychology 1985, pp 17-57 - DOI 10.1007/978-1-4612-5042-5_2. See also publications by Shye, and Guttman
Thank you for this comment. What I am really attempting to assess is the extent to which facet theory is used at present rather than to gather details about the approach itself. Do you have any idea about this?
The reason I suggested making contact with David Canter was that he was probably the most enthusiastic advocate and user of facet theory in environmental psychology. However, that was in the 1980s and 1990s. I am not so sure that it is used much now. David might know
David, do you use Facet Theory at all and are you aware of any publications in environmental psychology that have used this in the last 20 years? At one time facet theory was held up as a, if not the, methodology that would give environmental psychology a distinctive and unified approach. How did this play out?
