Attitudes Toward Psychologists As Revealed On The Semantic Differential As A Function Of Educational Level

The null hypothesis, that there was no significant difference in attitudes toward psychologists between a high education group and a low education group was tested. The subjects were twenty-five college students and twenty-one factory workers. The Semantic Differential was administered to both of these groups and compared using a t-test. A significant difference was found between the two groups, with the low education group having a more favorable attitude toward psychologists.
