最终她留下了41个能够很犀利的描述猩猩行为的术语。归纳工作完成之后,弗里曼将41个术语的列表交给德克萨斯针对猩猩的定期健康检查研究机构,17名工作人员将用41个术语描述99个黑猩猩。
She found that different people rated the same animals in the same way. That suggests theirassessments were reliable.
弗里曼发现即使是不同的人,对于同一批动物得出的结论仍然是相同的。
She also found that scores for particular terms tended to cluster together.
也就是说,他们的结论是可靠的。弗里曼还察觉到,一类特殊的词汇总是集中性的出现。
A chimp that scored highly for irritability, for example, was also likely to score highly foraggression and for jealousy, and to have low scores for calmness and relaxation.
比如,一只黑猩猩在易怒一栏得分较高,那么在富有攻击性和嫉妒分栏中得分也较高,相反在稳定和缓和分栏得分较低。
That let her apply a statistical technique called principal-component analysis to the data,to work out the dimensions of chimpanzee personality.
从而弗里曼在数据整理中获得一项称之为优先分析部分的统计技术,提高界定黑猩猩性格维度的工作效率。
