understand the correlation of Kansei words, as well as to calculate factor analysis, in order to<br />

understand the significant factors that were formed from the evaluation results. In addition, based on<br />

the<br />

average score, specimens that fitted best to Kansei were identified.<br />

Figure 2 shows some examples of the average evaluation results based on the 35 subjects’<br />

evaluations. Correlation analyses, based on a pairwise correlation method were performed on the<br />

data, in order to understand the strength of the correlation between two or more Kansei words.<br />

Correlation Coefficient Analysis (CCA) is the measure of strength between variables. CCA is<br />

important to identify smaller, but precise sets of correlated Kansei words, from the larger set of<br />

emotion words (Lokman and Ibrahim<br />

2010). Figure 3 depicts the correlation matrix of the Kansei<br />

words with their correlation values.<br />

Figure 2: Example of the calculated average values for each specimen based on the Kansei words<br />

A correlation value above 0.8 was considered strong; therefore, some strong correlations did exist<br />

between specific Kansei words. This detail is important to understand, in order to extract the highlevel<br />

Kansei words, or in other words, to identify the most significant Kansei words. Words in the<br />

correlation matrix with a correlation value of 0.8 and above were extracted and further grouped<br />

together, based on each of the Kansei words. This finding serves as the basis for identifying the highlevel<br />

Kansei words necessary to reduce the number of Kansei words from 478 to between 50 and<br />

around 100 words, for the secondary experiment, as was suggested by (Nagamachi and Lokman<br />

2011).<br />
