Priming Task

32 subjects participated in a contextual priming experiment which used a between-subjects design. The experiment tested the hypothesis that priming subjects with certain verbal pre-tasks would affect responses on a subsequent word-association test. The control group was given the stimulus list for word associations without the previous priming task. The hypothesis suggesting that the responses of the primed group would be different from those of the unprimed group was supported.

The Relationship

The number of superordinate responses on a categorized word association test was lower when stimulus words from each category were presented in blocks or when there was no time pressure for responding. Both findings illustrate the susceptibility of word associations to the influence of variations in administrative procedures. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for the relationship between overt word-association-test responses and implicit associative responses.

Word Association Test

A method of analysing dreams, called the Dream Test and utilizing the Initial Letter Word Association Test, was presented. Four interpreting rules were discussed, taking into account manifest dream content, Freud's and Jung's symbolism, associations, and Hall and Van de Castle's content analysis of dreams. In this way data from the Dream Test and the initial-letter word associations are analysed in a way which makes possible verification of each interpretation taken separately from either test.

Significant Difference

This research was carried out to determine the effectiveness and functionality of the word association test (WAT), which is a formative assessment tool that is frequently emphasized on today’s modern education systems. The study group consisted of 60 students in a public school in Kocaeli in the school year 2018-2019. Participants were identified using convenience sampling technique. The data of the study were obtained by using pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design with no control group. The data were categorized by subjecting to content analysis. The findings were tabulated using the cut-off technique and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. When the results of the study were examined, it was concluded that conceptual change and development occurred in participants’ minds and there was a significant difference in the results of the Wilcoxon test performed before and after the implementation. It was observed that the students wrote 1669 words before the implementation, and the number increased to 2193 after it. This shows that the students associate the key concept of “migration” with more words after the implementation and thus there is a wider connotation related to migration in their minds. In addition, the results of this research reveal that the WAT is suitable for formative assessment and can be used in educational studies.

The Relationship

The relationship between the personality characteristic of aggression and word associations was investigated. Extreme groups of 20 aggressive (A) and 20 non-aggressive (NA) Ss were selected from a pool of 180 on the basis of their scores on four subscales of the Buss-Durkee Hostility-Guilt Inventory and were subsequently administered a word association test. The test contained neutral stimulus items as well as 12 homonyms, which had both an A and NA meaning. Results showed that A Ss exceeded the NA Ss in the aggressive content of their associations to the homonyms. There was no difference, however, in the aggressive content of the A and NA Ss' responses to the neutral stimuli. The results were interpreted as support for the theoretical position that aggression is a response to specific situational cues.

Positive Correlations

For 40 Japanese undergraduates reaction times to the Rapa-port Word Association Test were recorded. Significant negative correlations were obtained between reaction times and Extraversion scores on the Maudsley Personality Inventory, but positive correlations with Neuroticism scores were obtained. These results were discussed in terms of the defense mechanisms of the ego and differences in types of personality.

The Mean

Substantial test-retest stability of individual differences in indices of response availability and overlap in a continued word-association test was found over an interval of 3 yr. An increase in the mean values of the indices over the 3-yr. period for 20 subjects initially aged 12 yr. was confirmed.
