Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we reconsider to improve the slider in the method of measuring the slipperiness of wet floors with bare feet. From previous studies, sensory tests for making psychological scale of slipperiness were carried out with many and various wet floors. We studied the new slider of ONO・PPSM(ONO・Portable Pull Slip Meter) and corresponded to psychological scales. But, the relation between a measured value （C.S.R’・BF ‘）with the new slider of ONO・PPSM and the evaluation scales were not good result.
