The measurement of affective meaning (Osgood's three universal factors) is easily accomplished via the semantic differential. However, the verbal nature of this instrument prevents its use with many subject groups in which the measurement of affective meaning would be the most interesting: members of illiterate cultures, verbally damaged individuals such as anomic aphasics and thought-disordered schizophrenics, and children younger than 6 years. For these purposes, the present study describes the development of a nonverbal alternative to the semantic differential and assesses the statistical comparability of scores resulting from the use of the two instruments.
情感意义的测量（奥斯古德的三个普遍因素）可以通过语义差别法轻松完成。然而，该工具的语言性质使其无法用于许多情感意义测量可能最具趣味性的受试者群体：文盲文化群体成员、语言受损个体（如命名性失语症患者和思维紊乱的精神分裂症患者）以及6岁以下儿童。出于这些目的，本研究描述了一种语义差别法的非语言替代方法的开发，并评估了使用这两种工具所得到的分数的统计可比性。
