Abstract

Category norms for fifteen categories were collected from university students in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Various techniques were used to compare the norms derived from the responses of these two groups. The same techniques were applied to a comparison of the norms for men and women students. The results indicated that category norms can be very substantially affected by the ‘nationality’ or the sex of the normative group. Difficulties in the evaluation of the analytic techniques are discussed.
