Mapping Mortality
Use of color for representing health data on maps raises many unanswered questions. This research addresses questions about which colors allow accurate map reading and which colors map users prefer. Through the combination of a review of previous color research and an experiment designed to test specific combinations of colors on maps, criteria were established and evaluated for selecting colors for choropleth maps of mortality data. The color-se…

Antonymy and Semantic Relations
There is an enduring debate concerning the degree to which linguis tic phenomena are culturally specific or universal. We review evi dence that suggests that many linguistic processes are cross-culturally common and likely to be a function of human physiology, but we also acknowledge strong evidence for particularistic linguistic phe nomena relating to content and communication context. In support of our position, we examine subject responses to …
Vietnam as a class war
This article reports an extension of the analyses of the fatalities in the Vietnam War presented by Barnett, Stanley, and Shore (1992) as printed in the September‐October 1992 Operations Research. The additional analyses involved an examination of results by Barnett et al. in numeric as well as percentage form and a consideration of how the revised analyses generalize to the population of all American fatalities in Vietnam. These analyses yielded…
A Cross-Cultural Examination of Semantic Relations
This article reports on a cross-cultural investigation of semantic relations that examines the responses of subjects from 8 different cultures to 15 semantic relations. The semantic relations include antonyms, synonyms, class inclusion, and part-whole inclusion. These were chosen due to their use in prior research, and because linguists and cognitive psychologists regard them as linguistically important. Findings reveal significant cross-cultural…
