Conference Proceedings http://fordham.bepress.com/ftc/ PREFACE This Conference Proceedings book contains the written versions of most of the contributions presented during the Fifteenth International Facet Theory Conference. The Fifteenth International Facet Theory Conference took place at Fordham University, New York City, from August 16 to 19, 2015. The Conference provided a setting for presenting advances in Facet Theory, as a research paradigm and methodology for multivariate behavioral research, as well as original applications of Facet Theory and related methodological developments to a wide variety of topics in psychology, sociology and economics. Editorial intervention in this collection of papers has been kept to a minimum: The papers, accepted on the basis of their relevance to Facet Theory, are presented essentially as submitted by their author or authors. Dictated by time and budget constraints, this editorial policy may have its advantage: the resulting collection faithfully reflects the current state of proficiency and sophistication in the understanding and application of Facet Theory by Conference participants. We would like to thank all participants for their contributions to the conference program. It is our pleasant duty to acknowledge the financial and moral support from Fordham University, from Cornell University, and from The Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology (SMEP).

Over more than a quarter of a century the application of this approach has revealed consistent frameworks for many related topics. This has allowed the development of an overarching theory for structures in qualitative data. Qualitative Structural Theory (QST) is of practical significance when empirically established radexes are interpreted drawing on Shye’s (1985; 2014) Faceted Action System Theory. The subsequent derivations of partially ordered systems using POSAC have been found to be of especial value. Drawing on examples drawn from criminal investigations, the utility of QST is illustrated. For example, clear differences between genuine and false rape allegations are demonstrated along the J axis of an appropriately constructed POSAC. Similarly, false television appeals to the public can be differentiated from genuine appeals through feeding linguistic marker identified in a radex into POSAC. Profiles of burglars of investigative significance have also been generated by similar procedures. QST therefore provides a new paradigm for applied research that is rooted in rich theoretical models. 6 KEYNOTE ADDRESS - NEW DIRECTIONS IN FACET THEORY SAMUEL SHYE, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute ABSTRACT1,2 Facet Theory addresses the dual perspectives on the data matrix: Faceted SSA (or Faceted MDS) performed on columns of the data matrix, for structuring multivariate attributes,
