Racial Differences in Associative Style
Consideration of qualitative differences between Negro (N = 60) and white (N = 42) subjects' associative hierarchies based upon 53 target-words revealed that Negro associative hierarchies exhibited smaller proportions of unique associations (UA's) to opposites, adjectives, and both concrete and abstract nouns. Negro subjects gave the highest percentage of UA's to descriptive adjectives, whereas white subjects gave the most UA's to concrete and ab…
Further Ado About Negro Music Ability
In an earlier paper I reported the Seashore Test of Musical Talents (STMT) scores of 200 inner-city sixth grade Negro pupils.' Miller's further analysis of the overall data clarify somewhat the more precise nature of the significant deficiency observed in the Black youngsters.2 Table I presents the average percentile scores on the six STMT sub-scales of 11-, 12-, and 13year-old Black sixth graders. Table I clearly shows the deficiency exhibited b…
Effects of Context, Thorndike-Lorge Frequency, and Race of Subjects on Continuous Word Association
46 Caucasian and 80 Negro Ss were given an unlimited amount of time in which to record continuous associations to target words embedded in two types of contexts, grammatically meaningful versus an equal number of unrelated words. Results showed that meaningless contexts functioned as sources of multiple input (cf. Howes & Osgood, 1954) and evoked significantly greater numbers of associations as well as increased response variability (cf. Wilcox, …
Effects of Context on Semantic Differential Ratings
Heise recently gathered Semantic Differential (SD) ratings by having Ss rate the S-words in relatively “neutral” contexts. A comparison of Heise's means and standard deviations with the same measures based upon 630 S-words showed that the neutral contexts utilized by Heise engendered more extreme, polarized SD ratings and restricted variability of Ss ratings. While the reduction in variability of the SD rating is understandable, there may be as m…
The Effect of Context on the Production of Hostile Associates to Ambiguous Verbal Stimuli
Six groups of 50 subjects each produced word-associates to 12 stimulus words which are subject to both a hostile and a non-hostile interpretation. For 3 of the 6 groups, the stimulus words were preceded by either a 1, 2, or 3 word hostile context, while for the 3 other groups, the stimuli were preceded by a 1, 2, or 3 word neutral context. The results showed that increasing context length for both hostile and neutral contexts served to produce mo…
