Abstract
The interdistances between thirteen places situated in different parts of the world were estimated by 60 subjects. The estimates were analysed by Kruskal's multidimensional technique and, after a cosine transformation, by factor analysis. It was found that both methods yielded the same three-dimensional solution. Also a two-dimensional configuration could describe the data, and it was shown that this configuration contained representations of unidimensional ratings obtained in other studies.Keywords
