In this chapter, I focus my attention directly upon facet theory and the mapping sentence. The mapping sentence is employed t as a template to account for complex behaviour in everyday scenarios. A mapping sentence is used to define the elements of a behavioural vignette. Details are given of the use of the facet theory within research studies that have incorporated the approach. Facet theory is presented as an integrated orientation to research design and analysis. Answers are provided to the questions: what is facet theory; what are facets; what are facet elements; how do facets combined in real life/what is a mapping sentence; what are facet roles; how can facet driven research be analysed?
