Survey & experimental methods

A short scenario put to respondents

In social-science methods a vignette is a short, carefully constructed description of a hypothetical person or situation shown to participants, who then judge or respond to it. By systematically varying details across versions, researchers isolate what drives attitudes, judgments, or decisions. The referent is a scenario stimulus, not an image.[1]

Unit
A controlled hypothetical scenario presented to respondents
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Compared across experimentally varied versions of the scenario to isolate effects of each manipulated detail

Optics & imaging

Light falling off toward the frame's edge

In optics and photography vignetting is the gradual darkening of an image toward its corners relative to the centre, caused by the lens aperture, optical path, and geometry rather than by scene content. It is a measurable radial reduction in recorded light, routinely corrected by photometric calibration. The referent is a property of the imaging system, not a hypothetical scenario.[2]

Unit
The radial falloff of image brightness from centre to corner
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Quantified as the drop in luminance from image centre to edges and corrected against a measured falloff profile
