Study Notes

Conceptual Equivalence in Cross-Cultural Research

Conceptual equivalence refers to the extent to which a concept or construct has the same meaning and relevance across different cultures.

Translation and Adaptation of Psychological Instruments

It is important to exercise sensitivity and care in the development of items for psychometric instruments in cross-cultural research to ensure cultural relevance and accuracy.
Translating a test involves a literal translation of the original instrument, whereas adapting a test involves modifying the instrument to make it culturally relevant and equivalent.

Problems in Cross-Cultural Research

Lexical mapping is a problem that occurs when words or phrases have different meanings or connotations across cultures.
Grammatical equivalence is a problem that occurs when the grammatical structure of the original instrument is not equivalent in the target language or culture.
Experiential equivalence refers to the extent to which the experiences and stimuli used in an instrument are equivalent across cultures.
