title: Stability of ratings of words on concreteness, imagery, emotionality, and interest values.
abstract: We analyzed the stability of ratings on concreteness, imagery, emotionality, and interest values. 204 subjects were 92 adolescents (52 girls and 40 boys), whose mean age was 15.6 yr., and 112 young adults (80 women and 32 men) whose mean age was 19.8 yr. Subjects were given a list of 50 concrete and 50 abstract words to rate on concreteness, imagery, emotionality, and interest. On each scale for each age group Pearson correlations over words were significant.
