Abstract
Responses to 28 category titles were, generated by 620 subjects sampled from the Riverina-Murray Institute of Higher Education, the University of Newcastle, NSW and a cross-section of the community. The response frequencies for items from each category correlated highly across the three samples. However, the correlations were significantly lower between the Riverina-Murray norms and norms from other cultures, implying that Australian norms should be used with Australian subjects. The categories could be represented by two dimensions which measured the ease with which responses are generated and the similarity between responses across subjects.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
