It is well known that the difference between the adiabatic pulsation periods and the corresponding non-adiabatic periods is small in classical Cepheids. However, the difference becomes significantly large in low surface-gravity models (e.g. Aikawa 1984a). In this paper we shall discuss the origins of the difference between the two pulsation periods. The weight functions for non-adiabatic pulsation periods are introduced in analogy to those of Epstein (1950) for adiabatic periods.
