    We propose a new technique of factor analysis with external criteria together with its computational procedure.
    First of all, we shall discuss some relationships between the principle of analysis of variance and that of regression analysis by introducing the mathematical concept of projection. Secondly, we shall show that two kinds of factors could be extracted, and that one of them would be closely related to the informations concerning the predetermined external criteria and another one would be independent of them. Thirdly, we shall show that our proposal might give a satisfactory answer to psychological interpretation of factors without assuming rotation of factors and the estimation of communalities. Finally, two numerical examples will be presented.

    In this experiment, 42 Ss were randomly assigned to two rating scale conditions: 21 to the single scale condition (S-S) and 21 to the complex scale condition (C-S). They rated their favorableness for persons described by sets of 2, 4, 6, or 8 personality adjectives. Results were as follows.(a) The addition of the moderately polarized stimuli to the extremely polarized ones produced a less extreme response than the set of the extremely polarized alone.(b) The fitness of observed responses to predicted responses was significantly high.(c) While weights for informations given by C-S were almost equal, those by S-S increased with increased informations.(d) The set size effect was found obviously in responses to highly desirable traits given by both S-S and C-S, but did not found in those to highly undesirable traits.

    The velocity perception was studied with linearly moving stripes shown through rectangular apertures. Velocity matches were made by 4 to 9 Ss for two reference velocities, 30′/sec and 5°/sec. The perceived velocity decreased as either aperture size or stripe size increased. Brown's transposition principle did not hold completely when the aperture and stripe size increased proportionally. The results can be understood as simultaneous manifestations of the aperture and stripe effects. The effect of the luminance upon the perceived velocity was not clear, though the fusion threshold linearly increased as the log. luminance increased. The velocity was underestimated in horizontal motions as compared with vertical motions under high velocity.

    An oblong rectangle moving horizontally shows decrease in its perceived length parallel to the moving difrection, when the moving speed increases up to a certain point. Present study concerns with the quantitative relationship between the perceived size of a moving figure and its moving speed.
    A black rectangle projected on a screen moves horizontally. The speed ranges from 32.2°/sec to 120.6°/sec. A method of reproduction is used to estimate the perceived size of a moving figure. Twelve students serve as Ss. Possible bias owing to the method used is also measured. Four out of five stimuli used tend to show a similar tendency when possible bias is corrected. An equation showing the relationship between perceived size and moving speed is suggested.

    The construction process of a Japanese version of the MPI was described. An attempt was made to construct a test which was adequate for Japanese populations on the basis of item analysis and factor analysis. Normative data were reported concerning the Japanese version of the MPI. The test was found to have a satisfactory reliability. Correlations between 2 MPI scales and some Japanese representative inventories showed high validities of these scales. The extraversion scale was found to be independent of the neuroticism scale and lie scale. On a group of college students a Japanese translation of the EPI was compared with the Japanese version of the MPI and high correlations between corresponding scales were found.

    Subjective value toward an object is ordinarily formed on the basis of a composite of relevant informations concerning with the object. Three mathematical models were described about the functional relationship between the overall value and the values of individual informations: additive, negative exponential, and positive exponential. All the empirical data presented (preferences towards electric washer, sewing machine, dishwasher, and evaluation of intelligence and of capability of housewives) were accounted for in either of the three functions. Of the respective functional forms, mathematical models were presented about the underlying psychological processes and implications of this analysis in marketing research were also discussed.
