在不同的地理区域测试了与语言无关的形式象征主义的相似性。在实验1中，来自世界9个地理区域的61 - 107名大学生或志愿者进行了10个抽象单词和16个计算机生成的无意义形式的词形匹配。参与者的母语为八种不同语言中的一种：日语、汉语、韩语、英语、意大利语、德语、塞尔维亚语和斯洛伐克语。结果显示，不同语言和地理区域的趋势相似。正如实验2的结果所表明的那样，实验1中发现的东西方群体之间的微小但显著的差异可以归因于他们之间在单词的情感意义上的差异，而不是形式上的差异。实验2的参与者（来自日本、台湾、美国和塞尔维亚的49至116名大学生）对实验1中使用的16个表格中的10个单词和8个表格执行11级语义差异技术。结果表明，形式符号的跨地域相似性是基于不同地域和语言的形式情感意义的相似性。
Similarities of language-independent form symbolism were tested across different geographical regions. In Experiment 1, word-form matching between 10 abstract words and 16 computer-generated nonsense forms was performed by between 61 and 107 undergraduate or volunteer participants in nine geographic regions of the world. Participants were native speakers of one of eight different languages: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, English, Italian, German, Serbian and Slovakian. The results demonstrated similar trends across languages and geographic regions. The small but significant differences between Eastern and Western groups found in Experiment 1 could be attributed to differences between them in the affective meanings of words rather than forms, as suggested by the results of Experiment 2. Experiment 2 involved participants (49 to 116 undergraduates from Japan, Taiwan, the US and Serbia) performing the 11-scale Semantic Differential technique on 10 words and eight of the 16 forms used in Experiment 1. It was concluded that the cross-regional similarity of form symbolism is based on the similarity of affective meanings of forms across different regions and languages.
