The non-response to the items in a questionaire is analysed in the corresponding relationship between responses by the yes-or-no method and those by the multiple choice method.<BR>1) The non-response becomes, to a considerable extent, a positive response by using the multiple choice method, which mearns that the non-response in the yes-or-no method is not always located just between "Yes" and "No."<BR>2) The quality of the non-response is influenced by the distinct inclination of each subject, contects of questions, or perhaps even some expressions of the questionaire items. There are some case, therefore, where the response to the items comes to have not a small partiality.<BR>3) In the yes-or-no method, the meanings not only of the non-response but of the negative response-"No"-are multivocal, too. It can them be seen that the negative response is not a genuine, positive response to the questionaire item.<BR>4) The negative response is not, therefore, to be estimated to be equivalent to the positive response in its absolute value.<BR>5) The negative response, also, has a partiality influenced by individual subjects or some forms or contents of the questionary items.<BR>6) In both of the yes-or-no method and the multiple choice method, it is only the positive response that is considered to have a corresponding relationship. It seems inadequently, to use as questionary items those which are of low corresponding relationship of the positive response in both of the methods.<BR>7) In follows natually that the quality of every response (i.e. every kind of response from the positive to the negative) to each item comes into question, which is one of the problems taken up by the present study.<BR>The paper attempts an analysis of the meaning of neutral and negative response in the multiple choice method.<BR>8) From those results, the further problem to pursue will be how to prescribe the meaning of the questionary items.
