We hypothesized that, contrary to prior investigations, when concrete and abstract words have similar meanings, correlations of rated emotionality with ratings of imagery, concreteness, and meaningfulness would be positive. 106 subjects rated 48 pairs of words, such as friend and friendship, that differ in only one morpheme. The words of these pairs all differed in concreteness but little in core meaning. Subjects rated the words on imagery, concreteness, emotionality, and meaningfulness. Correlations among all variables were positive and significant: .72 for imagery and emotionality, .71 imagery and meaningfulness, .87 imagery and concreteness, .41 emotionality and meaningfulness, .57 emotionality and concreteness, and .62 meaningfulness and concreteness.
我们假设,与先前的研究相反,当具体词和抽象词具有相似含义时,情感评分与意象、具体性和意义性评分之间的相关性将是正相关。106名受试者对48对仅在一个语素上不同的词进行了评分,例如“friend”和“friendship”。这些词对中的词在具体性上都有所不同,但核心意义差异不大。受试者对这些词的意象、具体性、情感性和意义性进行了评分。所有变量之间的相关性均为正且显著:意象与情感性为0.72,意象与意义性为0.71,意象与具体性为0.87,情感性与意义性为0.41,情感性与具体性为0.57,意义性与具体性为0.62。
