On Stratum Factor Structure: Containing the Critics
and Theorizing of Semantic Differential Method
Y. Murakami |
The concept of stratum factor structure which explains
the gap between connotative and denotative meanings is introduced after
the re-evaluation of problems on SD method. This concept revealed that
most of the problems were due to the differences of between-subjects
variance on SD scales. The stratum factor structure of TAT No. 1 was
discussed and the necessity of re-examination of personality factors
was also proposed.
