Ratings of 500 Identities, 500 Behaviors, 300 Modifiers, and 200 Settings were collected at Indiana University in 2002-3 by David Heise and Clare Francis. Mean ratings are based on 970 raters who lived in the U.S.A. at age 16, of whom 281 were obtained from the division of arts and sciences, and 689 from the Kelley School of Business. Overall, 496 raters were female, 474 male.
Gathered by David Heise and Lynn Smith-Lovin. Ratings of Identities, Behaviors, Modifiers, and Settings were obtained from 1,225 North Carolina undergraduates in 1978. Ratings for emotion words were obtained from Indiana University undergraduates in 1985. Number of male or female raters generally is 25-30 for each word. The North Carolina project also provided data for estimating impression formation equations.
Gathered by Neil MacKinnon. Data on Identities, Behaviors, and Emotions were obtained from 6,794 Guelph, Ontario, undergraduates in the mid-1980s. Some impression formation equations were estimated.
Gathered by Dennis Willigan. Ratings of Identities and Behaviors were obtained from 319 Belfast Catholic teenagers in Catholic high schools in 1975.
Gathered by Andreas Schneider. The concepts are a subset of the Heise and Smith-Lovin1978 repository: 442 role identities, 295 behaviors, 67 traits/emotions, selected for comparability through back-translations. Ratings were obtained from 400 Mannheim students, matched to the American undergraduate population by proportional inclusion of 12 and 13 grade youths at two German Studenten des Grundstudiums and Gymnasiasten, along with subjects from Mannheim University, which attracts students mainly from the Rhein-Neckar region in former West Germany.
Gathered by Herman Smith, Michio Umino, Takanori Matsuno, and Shuuichiro Ike. Ratings of 403 Identities and 307 Behaviors, and a few Settings were obtained from 323 Tohoku University students in 1989. Ratings of 100 emotions came from 60 Doshisha University undergraduates in 1990. In 1995 and 1996, 120 women students at Kyoritsu Women's, Japan Women's, and Teikyo Universities and 120 men students at Teikyo and Rikkyo Universities rated an additional 300 settings, 300 modifiers (mainly traits), 200 business identities, and 75 behaviors. Number of male or femaled raters generally is about 30 for each word. All impression formation equations were estimated.
Herm Smith planned the Chinese lexical entries to maximize comparisons with the existing American, Canadian, German, and Japanese entries for replication in the People's Republic of China. Ms. Yi Cai provided introductions to facilitating professors at Fudan University in Shanghai. The lexicon has been translated and back-translated with the help of Prof. Debin Ma, Ms. Shu Li, Dean Shuming Zhao, and graduate students from my advanced social psychology class at Fudan University. The Simplified Mandarin concepts include 598 role identities, 450 behaviors, 98 emotions, 216 traits, and 149 settings. Ms. Zou Haoping was responsible for overseeing all data collected during the Spring Semesters of 1999 and 2000 at Fudan University and the Oriental Studies College of Shanghai. The SD scales conform to those derived for Cantonese by collaborators of Prof. Charles Osgood (courtesy of Professors Runjahm Hoosian and Oliver C.S. Tzeng). Data for estimating all impression formation equations have been obtained, but estimations are still in progress as of 2001.
