Is there a database of object concepts that have been normed on semantic differential scales?

04 April 2017 1 6K Report

I'm wondering if there is a database of objects (either word or picture targets) that have been rated by a good number of people (>=30) on Osgood et al.'s semantic differential scales (e.g., fast-slow, thin-wide, etc.)?

Is there anything wrong with a perfectly correlated random slope and intercept, assuming there is variation in both?

I know that when there is close to zero variance in either random effect, a perfect correlation can mean that the model isn't able to estimate both effects. However, I have a good deal of variance...
