Abstract:

This presentation will discuss issues specific to the design of questionnaires used in cross-cultural and cross-national research. The goals are to provide a theoretical framework for the discussion, drawing on research in communication, linguistics, and other disciplines; provide an overview of what is known about design of cross-cultural/national questionnaires; identify gaps in current theory and research to provide guidance for future research; and establish an international dialogue that will lead toward the development of guidelines and standards for cross-cultural/national questionnaire development.
