Semantic Differential
Originally created by Osgood, et al., and not
specifically designed, initially, for the purpose of
attitude measurement.
Has three primary domains (factors):
(1) evaluation, (2) potency, and (3) activity.
Uses pairs of opposite adjectives in describing a
particular object/concept.
For purposes of attitude measurement, a special
form of the semantic differential consisting of
entirely adjective pairs representing the evaluation
dimension may be constructed.
