Abstract

This study was performed to validate the category norms collected through internet and to provide those norms as basic materials for psychological studies. Participants produced 5 instances to each of 50 superordinate and 32 basic level categories presented on the Web in random sequence. The category norms constructed using these data were compared with the results of a previous study. Except a few categories reflecting the change of times and the regional differences, relatively high correlations existed between them. These results showed a possibility of collecting basic materials using internet. The category norms were presented for psychological studies on internal structures and processes of concepts and categories.
