items in personal territory for a long time. The fourth
cluster, with a mean score of 2.03, consisted of Aesthetics

cluster. As was mentioned earlier, the judgement values for
these two criteria probably were inflated due to some
subjects misinterpreting the word "justifications" in the
instructions for the explicit judgements task. Based on the
first pilot study (See Appendix B.), "Attractiveness"
probably should be ranked lower than the final cluster.
This consisted of Familiarity and Utility and had a mean
score of 1.76. It might be labelled the "Familiar Tools"
cluster.
These interpretations of the cluster analyses are
summarized in Table 12. The analysis of judgements of
exemplars of things not owned was omitted. That analysis
has only aw indirect bearing on the semantics of ownership.
Also, note that the mean median judgement scores for each
cluster have been set to a common scale by dividing the
scores by the maximum range. For the analysis of the
difference scores, the ownership range extended from 0 to
+3, for a maximum range of three. The cluster values should
be interpreted as the average proportional distance the
