Semantic differential scaling: prospects in lighting research

The semantic differential has been used to characterize the psychological aspects of lighting. It is unclear whether results from semantic differential scaling can stand alone. Two analyses, one of already published data, the second of new data, suggest that a correlation procedure may form the missing link between semantic differential scaling and more rigorous traditional psychophysical proceduresOn a utilis\ue9 la diff\ue9rentiation s\ue9mantique pour caract\ue9riser les aspects psychologiques de l?\ue9clairage. Il demeure toutefois incertain que les r\ue9sultats obtenus \ue0 partir de la bar\ue9misation \ue0 diff\ue9rentiation s\ue9mantique peuvent \ueatre utilis\ue9s ind\ue9pendamment. Deux (2) analyses, dont une de donn\ue9es d\ue9j\ue0 publi\ue9es et l?autre, de donn\ue9es nouvelles, donnent \ue0 penser qu?une proc\ue9dure de corr\ue9lation pourrait constituer le cha\ueenon manquant entre la bar\ue9misation \ue0 diff\ue9rentiation s\ue9mantique et des m\ue9thodes psychophysiques traditionnelles plus rigoureusesPeer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
