Abstract:

Recognition of cultural diversity, acceptance of multilinguality within nation states, and ever-raising interest in comparative research led to a dramatic increase in cross-cultural survey research in the last decade. Also, one can observe a move from two-culture comparisons to simultaneous multiple culture/nation surveys. In turn, these surveys ask for new methods, processes, and analytic tools to handle the complex interplay of a multitude of factors, such as comparable sampling designs, equivalence of measurement, and local vs. global factors.
