Abstract

The purpose of the study was to describe impressions of pictures on the cover of a picture book and to explore how to describe the characteristics of the pictures using text mining techniques. Ninety-one adults (all female) were presented with 5 different pictures as stimuli and gave a free description of their impressions of the pictures. Text mining by KH Coder extracted characteristic words for each picture and revealed that, although the pictures were of the same title, their impressions differed greatly depending on the composition and touch of the picture. The results of the correspondence analysis suggested that two components, "staticactive" and "simple-decorative," could be used to describe the characteristics of picture books. These results suggest a new perspective on impressions of picture books and new development in the way we enjoy picture books and search for them based on intuitive impressions.
