The Drug Rating Scale, an adaptation of the Osgood semantic-differential technique, was devised to measure the connotative aspects of attitudes toward drugs. Sixty-two heroin-addict clients and fourteen staff members of the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic completed the Scale. The Addict group tended to regard heroin in a negative light, possibly consistent with their own lack of self-esteem. Amphetamines and LSD had the greatest distance from heroin in the addicts' "semantic space"; this was consistent with addicts' relative preference for alternative drugs to heroin. The evaluative and activity dimensions provided a plausible assignment of the eight drugs inquired about into four quadrants.
药物评级量表是对奥斯古德语义差异技术的一种改编，旨在测量对药物态度的隐含方面。62名海特-阿什伯里免费医疗诊所的海洛因成瘾者和14名工作人员完成了该量表。成瘾者群体倾向于以负面眼光看待海洛因，这可能与他们自身缺乏自尊相一致。在成瘾者的“语义空间”中，安非他命和麦角酸二乙酰胺与海洛因的距离最远；这与成瘾者相对更喜欢海洛因以外的其他药物是一致的。评价维度和活动维度为所询问的八种药物合理地划分到四个象限中提供了依据。
