A Reexamination of Coomb's Data Quadrants.
Carithers, Martha W.; Flynn, Cynthia B.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v40 n1 p79-90 Spr 1980
Coombs' formulation of Data Quadrants, and Runkle and McGrath's adaptation, were found to be incomplete. The third dichotomy was nonfunctional in half the Quadrants, resulting in inconsistent interpretation of the proximity element. The category "comparison between points and dyads" should be added to complete the logical classification scheme. (Author/BW)
