Cross-cultural
invariance of the California Psychological Inventory
T. Nishiyama |
The
present study purports to examine the cross-cultural relevance of
the "folk concept" approach used in CPI scale construction.
Applying a 60(3 college student sample, item analyses were made (not
to be reported here), scale scores compared, scale relationships
clarified, and factorial structures identified. With certain reservations,
the results obtained seem to support the universal availability and
empirical validity of such a "folk concept" approach.
