Differences of impression of pictures between Japanese and Chinese

This paper elaborates the similarities and differences of impression of pictures between Japanese and Chinese. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 32 Chinese college students, asking them to evaluate 40 pictures from their feelings. By comparing the results of Chinese and Japanese, we found several interesting conclusions. First of all, both Chinese males and Japanese males have come up with 5 identical main factors for pictures, but these main factors have different degrees of influence. Second, Chinese females only have four main factors for pictures. Third, we compared Chinese males with Chinese females and then found their respective main factors. Lastly, by changing the way of the factor rotation, the correlation between the main factors was found.
