At least, you have to give them credit for finding the _right_ resource for their information instead of making unwarranted assumptions. View it as having been "interviewed" by the students--a very legitimate method for a student to garner information--rather than as having done their assignment for them.

Annette, don't feel foolish. It occurred to me that the quotation beneath your name was very prescient. >> Am I now standing here with egg on my kindly face? annette > Annette Taylor, Ph.

But how could students post to TIPS without a faculty-member overseeing the posting? So I _ASSUMED_ that this was a legitimate posting, approved by some faculty member with a membership in TIPS.

An operational definition of positive and negative words is to chose a list of word that may be negative or positive and define their relative negativeness or positive by using an Osgood scale of good 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 bad relative to a standardization group. By using the lowest scoring words for positive and the highest scoring words for negative you can now start your research. I would prefer 30 words for each catagory. This may not be practical in your research design. Make sure you do this only with people who know one language. Words will generate different meaning across languages. An example is Cat for Americans vrs Spanish speaking people. Any word can be discribed by thousand of dichotyom relationships. Different cultures view events differently and can not translated equally. Ron Blue http://turn.to/ai > > 2. Examples of positive and negative word lists. > > 3.

Unless I am missing something here about something i have never heard about this is an oddly phrased question. It seems to me that this is a good lesson about operational definitions because I can come up with several operational definitions, but I am not sure what you want to study! For example, the positive words could be words that have a pleasant sound, lots of sibilants (s's and c's); and the negative words could be words that have an unpleasant sound, lots of guturalslike hard g's and k's. Or maybe we want them to be rated on a semantic differential scale by an independent panel of judges. > > 2. Examples of positive and negative word lists. So the examples would be tied to the specific operational defintions you select! and to the ways in the which the words are assessed. > > 3.

Do a psychinfo search to answer this question--I'd try word types and music as keywords as a point of departure. > > We would really appreciate any insight that you can provide for us. > > Thank you, You're welcome, although I had not much help here. annette taylor > > Nick Mavetz, Mary Short, Amy Ward, and Matt Wheeler > > > Annette Taylor, Ph.

Re: Please help us.
Greetings Tipsters, We are four undergraduate students who are conducting a research experiment on free word recall with different types of music. Can any of you help us with the following topics: 1. Operational definition of positive and negative words. 2. Examples of positive and negative word lists. 3. Are there any past studies regarding the relationship between free recall of positive and negative words in correlation with different types of music? We would really appreciate any insight that you can provide for us. Thank you, Nick Mavetz, Mary Short, Amy Ward, and Matt Wheeler
