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…

Underlying factor structure of 10 concepts rated by 67 students in an introductory advertising course was examined. Dimensions of relevance were found to conform to results reported by Menges and Trumpeter (1971) suggesting the potential for a university of basic dimensions of educational relevance across diverse fields of learning.

Utilizes a factor analyst technique on the scores of college freshmen responding to a form of Osgood's semantic differential instrument. A three-dimensional vectorial model is constructed to explain involvement in science. (CP)

Using Osgood's Semantic Differential, responses of Chicanos and Anglos on 5 concepts viewed as basic to the Mexican family structure were examined. The 5 concepts were self, mother, father, female, and male. (NQ)

The repertory grid analyzed by new methods of computer analysis is a sensitive instrument allowing individuals to model any topic in terms of personal constructs. Useful computer programs include FOCUS, PEGASUS, MINUS, CORE, SOCIOGRIDS, and ARGUS. (Author)

This study attempted to assess ways in which a specifically designed course on homosexuality including seven groups of gay speakers affected attitudes of 18 advanced college students.

A project undertaken to advance the systematic analysis of public responses, attitudes, opinions, preferences, and values relating to the environment is discussed in this report, the fifth in a series of eight. The reports fall into two general categories: five describe and compare responses to representative milieus in New York, Boston, Cambridge…

A semantic differential scale consisting of ten pairs of bipolar adjectives was administered in pre- and post-test sessions to anthropology students to measure their attitudes toward the following concepts: Culture,…

This paper investigated the assumption that a linear relationship could be detected between the process of source credibility evaluation and the seeking of information. The authors utilized twelve semantic differential scales which, when used for evaluating the source credibility of public figures, clustered into four dimensions: competence,…
