Fiske, Donald W.; Barack, Leonard I.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 36, 2, 339-45, Sum 76

Using adjectives from the Adjective Check List (ACL), the study sought evidence bearing on these questions: Does such diversity make the responses to an item not comparable across subjects? If so, what are the implications for scores based on responses to a series of such items? (RC)
