Abstract
In order to study the dimensionality of 3 individuals' judgments of situations matrices for individual and group data consisting of similarity judgments of situations from a certain domain were factor analyzed. The results indicated: (a) judgments of perceived similarity between situations have a considerable degree of consistency over time, (b) the dimensionality of these judgments shows great agreement among individuals in a homogeneous group, and (c) dimensional analyses both of average and individual similarity matrices provide a clear and interpretable structure. The potentials for further work with the methodology used were discussed.Keywords
