Abstract

To investigate psychological attributes of 881 kanji-characters, 1, 000 subjects were required to make a dichotomous choice in terms of concreteness (C), and to rate on a 7-point scale in terms of hieroglyphicity (H) and in terms of familiarity (F). There was high positively correlation between C and H values. But F value yielded negligible correlations with other two values. To test the validity of results, the recognition as a function of C value (high or low) was examined, with only F value held constant. The results revealed that the ease of recognition was positively related to the degree of concreteness.
