FIVE RATED CHARACTERISTICS OF 650 WORD ASSOCIATION STIMULI

W. P. Brown, Dorothy M. J. Ure

Open publisher page 157 citations

Abstract

Ratings are presented for 650 stimuli from word‐association lists on each of five scales: good—bad, pleasant—unpleasant, emotional—neutral, concrete—abstract, and easy to associate to—difficult to associate to. The ratings are shown to be highly reliable, and to agree well with previously collected norms of a similar character. The intercorrelations of the five scales with one another and with word frequency are reported.
