A Semantic Basis for Evaluative Trait Judgments

A measure of trait inter-relatedness derived from correlations, across subjects, between evaluative ratings of separate traits was (a) examined in terms of its ability to provide a satisfac tory representation of the semantic structure underlying judg ments of a set of traits and (b) compared to a trait-sorting task measure of stimulus co-occurrence. Results suggested that evaluative intercorrelations provide a better measure of semantic similarity than provided by trait-sorting. Reasons for this superiority are discussed.
