Lexical Difficulty Ratings by Respondents for Phase 1

The 99 respondents in this study rated 55 statements according to six different criteria. One of those criteria concerned lexical difficulty. Respondents rated the statements in terms of a 5-point scale in which "5" denoted high degree of lexical difficulty and "1" low degree of lexical difficulty. Respondents had the option of not rating items they felt uncertain of. Moreover, if a respondent wasn't present for this phase of the study, a "no response" rating was recorded.
