Abstract
American (31 men, 31 women) and Japanese (69 men) students showed significant agreement in responses to 30 nonverbal projective differential items on the topics GOOD and STRONG. A projective differential item consists of a pairing of abstract visual images, and the response is a rapidly made choice of the one image from a pairing that seems “somehow” to be more like the topic being rated. Present results are discussed in the context of developing a nonverbal method for cross-cultural measurement of attitudes toward various topics.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
