Frequently ignored methodological issues in cross-cultural stress research

摘要: In summary, several research design features are advocated here as potentially instrumental in establishing the absence of kind language and selection biases that often confounded with culture effects. First, use bilinguals similar levels acculturation reading comprehension both source target reduces likelihood bias introduced by differences proficiency. Second, a within-participant eliminates threat plagues non-equivalent groups cross-cultural research. Third, manipulation order can help rule out effects such recall (e.g., English) version when responding to Spanish) version. The test cultural accommodation hypothesis, which predicts respond measurement instrument, instrument is taken influences responses.
