Describing the Frequency of Marijuana Use: Fuzziness and Context-Dependent Interpretation of Frequency Expressions.
Matt, Georg E.; Wilson, Sandra Jo
Evaluation and Program Planning, v17 n4 p357-69 Oct-Dec 1994
A fuzzy set model is offered for interpreting vague frequency expressions, such as "rarely" and "sometimes." Results with 152 undergraduates reporting marijuana use reflect different frequency expressions for the same level of use and suggest that self-report validity may be enhanced by analyzing frequency expressions as fuzzy sets.
