Abstract

The use of symbolic representations of concepts is explored in the context of their inherent, associative meaning. Several symbol sets in military use were evaluated using two scaling techniques, ratings and pair comparisons. Findings validate a model of symbol categorization proposed by Modley (1966) and provide implications for the use of ratings vs. pair-comparisons in evaluating symbols.
