Effects of the Semantic Similarity of Items on Student Ratings of Instructors.
Cadwell, Joel; Jenkins, Jeffrey
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n4 p383-93 Aug 1985
Students were asked to rate several hypothetical instructor profiles, constructed by systematically manipulating information about the instructors' classroom behaviors. Factor analyses were performed where factors represented clusters of semantically equivalent items. Students imposed an implicit semantic organization on their ratings, apart from any covariance among the instructors' classroom behavior. (Author/DWH)
