反応語の系列効果 : 評定尺度の研究  [in Japanese] ORDER EFFECTS OF CATEGORY WORDS : a study on category scales  [in Japanese]

It is said that the category-words of a category scale must be differenciated from each other in strength of their semantic meanings and be atranged in order of strength of their semantic meanings. If the category-words not differenciated from each other in strength of their semantic meanings are used to construct a category scale, inconsistency may occur between the category-word order of the given category scale and the category-word order of the semantic meanings understood by the subjects and their judgment process with the category scale may be confused. The purpose of this study is to investigate the order effects of category-words on the subjects judgment process with category scales which include the category-words undifferentiated from each other in strength of the semantic meanings.
