5. Conclusion
In the evaluation of material properties of wood, we found that visual, auditory, and tactile evaluations for affective properties are similar, even when carried out separately. The elements of “expensiveness, sturdiness, rareness, interestingness, and sophisticatedness” and “pleasantness, relaxed feelings, and liked–disliked” were grouped into separate factors in all three modalities. Our results suggest that affective properties of wood are at least partly represented in a supramodal fashion.
