A Method for Validating Semantic Differential Referents.

Thompson, Bruce; Stapleton, James C.

Journal of Experimental Education, v48 n2 p110-13 Win 1979-80

This paper presents a method which can be used to obtain evidence that the concepts rated on semantic differential scales are appropriate for given study. An analysis of six semantic differential concepts, as perceived by 168 graduate education students, is presented; variations of the method are discussed. (Author/GSK)
