Development and Application of a New Approach to Testing the Bipolarity of Semantic Differential Items.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cogliser, Claudia C.; Schriesheim, Chester A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
A method of testing semantic differential scales for bipolarity is developed using a new conception of bipolarity that does not require unidimensionality. Assessment of Fielder's Least Preferred Coworker instrument with 63 college student subjects using multidimensional scaling revealed its significant departures from bipolarity. (SLD)

The Equal-Interval Nature of Semantic Differential Scales: An Empirical Investigation Using Fiedler's Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) Scale and Magnitude Estimation and Case III Scaling Procedures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schriesheim, Chester A.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
Eighteen bipolar adjective pairs that are used in Fielder's Least Preferred (LPC) coworker instrument were examined using 2 scaling techniques with a sample of 113 respondents. Both pair-comparison treatments suggest that true bipolarity does not characterize most of the paired adjectives. Implications for LPC and semantic differential research…

Fiedler's Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) Instrument: An Investigation of Its True Bipolarity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schriesheim, Chester A.; Klich, Nancy R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1991
Two studies were conducted, using 131 business administration majors (53 males and 78 females), to examine the psychological midpoints of the 18 bipolar adjective pairs of Fiedler's Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) instrument. Six of the LPC adjective pairs were found to deviate significantly from true bipolarity. (SLD)
