Description
Summary:In this study, the concept of content is based on an associative model. People, objects, attributes, events, actions, states, and affects which tend to cooccur in a person's speech define an area of content. Each interview is divided into time segments, each word is correlated with every other word on the basis of these frequencies and the resulting matrix is factor analyzed. These factors and their interpretation represent the description or definition of content clusters.
