"Alienated Tool" cluster, representing the qualities of
familiar tools that are owned by someone else. The third
cluster, with a mean score of 1.02, consisted of the
remainder of the criteria and is not worth labelling, since
it probably represents a ceiling effect of judgements of
non-applicability more than it does meaningful relatonships.
The data on exemplars of things not owned were collected as
control for the judgements of owned things and are not
directly relevant to the concept of ownership.
The difference scores are the judgements of exemplars
of owned things more or less corrected for the effects of
extraneous recall criteria. Bear in mind that the value
range is -3 to +3, with positive numbers representing
ownership and negative numbers non-ownership. The
dendrogram in Figure 3 displays four major clusters. The
first, with a mean score of 2.63, was the — "Social
Defensive" cluster identified in the cluster analysis of
judgements of things owned. The second, with a mean score
of 2.0, consisted of Familiarity, Utility, History, and
Purchase. This might be labelled as the "Regular
Acquisitions" cluster, since it represents the qualities of
typical, utilitarian items, things that were purchased some
rine ago and are familiar and used routinely. The third
cluster, with a mean score of 1.25, consisted of Knowledge
and Aesthetics. It might be labelled the "Appreciation"
