The aim is to establish a standardized operationalization for agency and communion dimensions in social judgment.
Created a pool of 304 trait adjectives, reduced to 69 based on pretests.
Involved N = 548 participants from five countries rating traits on agency, communion, and valence.
Conducted cluster analyses to identify relationships among trait words.
Agency and communion ratings were negatively correlated among participants.
Valence ratings correlated with communal traits but not with agentic traits.
Word frequency showed minimal relation to content ratings, indicating independence of these measures.
