Abstract

A scale of 'emotionality' was established for eight words. These eight words were then used in two separate sub-experiments. In the first, pairs of the words were shown and Ss were required to make brightness judgments. These judgments were not scalable. The same eight words were then used in a typical perceptual defense experiment. Perceptual defense and vigilance were observed.
