SOME METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH.

Abstract

Four central methodological problems in cross-cultural research are discussed: (a) the comparability of samples, (b) ethnic impact on the definition of researchable problems, (c) the comparability of research instruments, and (d) the cultural bounds on data interpretations. The article deliberately poses the problems without prescribing research designs but suggests some alternative approaches to their short-run resolution. (Author)
