SESSION: Dealing with Measurement Inequivalence in Cross Cultural
Research
SUMMARY
by Guy Moors (chair of the session) guy.moors@uvt.nl
Cross-cultural comparative research has become inevitable in a globalizing
society. Researchers are becoming increasingly aware that solid comparative
research is not a straightforward matter. Cultural groups may not only differ in
attitudes and values, but may assign different meanings to the questions asked
to measure attitudes and values. The latter issue is the topic of the papers that
are presented in this session, i.e. testing for measurement equivalence in cross-
cultural research. The papers include methodological advances as well as
applications.
