Defeat, battle, thief, crime, and danger, cultural differences in concept allocation
Some of the differences in concept allocation are suggestive of real culture differences; for example: concepts like defeat, battle, thief, crime, and danger are all bad-strong-active (Osgood's 3-factors) for Americans, Belgians, and Finns, but for the Japanese defeat, thief, crime, and danger are bad-weak-passive and battle is good-weak-active. Osgood (1964)
Power, cultural differences in concept allocation
Some of the differences in concept allocation are suggestive of real culture differences; for example: power is good-strong-active (Osgood's 3-factors) for both Americans and Flemish speakers, but it becomes passive for Finns, and turns both bad and weak (but still active) for Japanese. Osgood (1964)
Mother and father, cultural differences in concept allocation
Some of the differences in concept allocation are suggestive of real culture differences; for example: both mother and father are good-strong-passive (Osgood's 3-factors) for Americans and Flemish, and are both good-strong-active for Japanese, but father is good-strong-active and mother is good-strong-passive for the Finns. Osgood (1964)
Policeman, cultural differences in concept allocation

Osgood (1964)

Osgood (1964)
