In social research, narrative vignettes are increasingly implied to explore mul- tiple themes, including sensitive ones. This article illustrates the characteristics of this research tool, as well as the ways in which it is used. Furthermore, through an example relating to the educational field, the present work intends to provide indications for the formulation of stimulus texts for qualitative research. The focus is on the translation of conceptual areas into descriptive scenarios by maintaining adherence to the investigated themes. Moreover, potentialities and weaknesses of the use of narrative vignettes are examined.
