Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
There is little agreement regarding best practices for constructing and assessing the quality of crosscultural measures. This paper discusses several topics that are relevant to further progress in this area: 1) a lack of consensus regarding conceptualizations of equivalence; 2) emphasis on shared methods versus shared meaning; and 3) the application of cultural theories to measurement problems. Future progress in crosscultural measurement will benefit from continued exploration of these issues. |
