ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we turn our attention to projective approaches to research that employ some form of map or mapping technique in their procedure, or which involve the use and creation of maps of concepts or ideas, that are pertinent to participants. We will present these projective approaches under three major categories: Mapping, Mind Mapping and Concept Mapping. This chapter also addresses ways to plan research utilising a mapping approach and how to collect, analyse and present the related data. We also aim to point out both the pros and cons mapping approaches have so that you are able to make an educated decision on how to include these approaches into your work.
