Attitudes and ratings of 8 word-pairs from Similarities given by 14 men and 19 women were analyzed. Mean number of attributes and an abstraction score did not vary across word-pairs. Various measures of overlap reflected difficulty of stimuli. Only word-pairs for which controlling number of attributes improved the correlation of abstraction and Similarities were those for which the correlation of abstractions and number of attributes was significant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
