Word Associations: A sociological study

advertisement

I was involved in a discussion about the banning of language that lead to another discussion about how language affects socialization…or at least that is the direction I was going. I believe that while between individuals, we can claim that word only have the meaning they are given or that they have no meaning at all, but in the wider scheme of society, words do in fact have relevance to our social construct.

Just to test this theory out, as well as gather tangible data for analysis, I would like to play a word association game. While this is not my intention to offend anyone, I assure you there is a method to my madness, however I am reluctant to offer any additional information for fear your responses will be tainted. Once you have responded to the words, you are welcome to analyze why you believe you associated the words as you did, as well as any additional reflection you might find helpful to my research. Later I will write an article including this and other research.

Since this experiment (and not necessarily the research for my article) are dependant on participation, I want to thank everyone in advance for your help.

Instructions: Examine the list of words below and respond to each with the word that first enters your mind. It is very important to the integrity of this experiment that you are honest with both me and yourself. Don't think to hard; just answer.

Jews
Black
White
Immigrant
@!$%#
Bourgeois
Communist
Liberal
Beautiful
Conservative
Rebel
Christmas
F.U.C.K

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I have had too much time to think about the words and since the point is to indicate the "first thought" response I will leave it to others. I am looking forward to what people have to say.

    oh each word, my bad -- but i can't do it with a list (by the time i read "Jews" I've already scanned down to Black, White, etc. So I scanned the list, saw F.U.C.K. and thought "sex," and then re-read the list, the whole time thinking, "sex.")

    It's okay Mike, I figured seeing a list would distract some people...as I said it is an experiment. I'll fill you in on what the acronym stands for later.

                Interesting, Rukh, when I see "immigrant", I think American (or "us" as in my answer), since we are a nation of (mostly) immigrants.

                frellis entirely new to me.

                          No way! I made a point of taking this as quickly as possible without reading any comments because any insight I can get into my addled gourd is, as always, greatly appreciated. Perhaps Seinfeld was the ultimate pinnacle of 7000 years of Hebrew culture (not a small feat).

                                      F.U.C.K-why is this an anagram? (I couldn't get beyond that in time)

                                      I sincerely answered these as fast as I could type and read no comments first.

                                        why is this an anagram?

                                        Its a nerdy twist I'll address when I write my analysis. Sarcophilus alluded to something of the effect but called me a smart ass (its okay, I wasn't hurt - **sticking out tongue @ Sarcophilus). Plus Newsvine would not let me publish it without the acronym so I decided to have a point to using the word that I could include in my article (besides wanting to find a way around the foul language filter ;-)).

                                        Thanks for your contribution.

                                          publish it without the acronym

                                          Yes, it should have been acronym rather than anagram. There are no anagrams for "@!$%#." Mother@!$%#er can be "free kot chum," however.

                                                            a misguided attempt to explain the origins of the word @!$%#(which is most likely germanic). sometimes said to stand for "Fornication Under Consent of King" or "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", both of which are false.
