Abstract

We are discussing the problem of impression fromations of others in person perception applying the nonmetric multidimensional scaling techniques, especially comparing the Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) with the Minimum Dimension Analysis (MDA), using the data from rating of the impression formations of a person measured by the Semantic Differential Method. The usefulness of nonmetric multidimensional scaling methods for the psychological phenomena is examined under several considerations from various points of view.
