Abstract
First, this paper evaluates the impression of questions and answers at Questions and Answers (Q & A) sites in order to avoid the problem of mismatch between the questioner and the respondent. Fifty impression words effective in evaluating impressive expression of statements are selected from a dictionary. An impressive evaluation experiment is then conducted for sixty questions and answers posted at Yahoo! Chiebukuro by using those impression words. Nine factors are obtained by applying factor analysis to the scores obtained through the experiment. Then factor scores of any other statements are tried to be estimated by using multiple regression analysis. This result, however, shows that the estimation accuracy is insufficient. To improve the estimation accuracy, the multiple regression analysis considering quadratic terms is applied. The result of the analysis shows that the estimation accuracy can be improved.
