50 words were rated on a 9-scale form of the semantic differential by 50 Ss. For each S the following scores were obtained: (a) response bias on the differential defined as the use of "very" and "neutral" categories, (b) discrimination on the differential defined as the tendency to use all categories equally often, (c) Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, and (d) Manifest Anxiety and Lie scores. It was hypothesized that there would be a positive correlation between anxiety and discrimination and 0 correlation between aptitude and discrimination. The results supported these hypotheses. In addition, a positive correlation between Lie score and response bias was found. It was argued that the nature of a high Lie score would tend to produce this type of correlation.
