Cross-cultural evaluation of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire: tests of data quality, score reliability, response rate, and scaling assumptions in the United States, Canada, J... by Jenkinson, C, Fitzpatrick, R, Norquist, J, Findley, L, Hughes, K

“…One measure widely used in cross-cultural studies is the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). …”

Weird people, yes, but also weird experiments by Baumard, N, Sperber, D

“…While we agree that the cultural imbalance in the recruitment of participants in psychology experiments is highly detrimental, we emphasize the need to complement this criticism with a warning about the "weirdness" of some cross-cultural studies showing seemingly deep cultural differences. …”

Limitations in odour simulation may originate from differential sensory embodiment by Arshamian, A, Manko, P, Majid, A

“…Many studies have observed that compared with other sensory modalities, communication about smells is relatively rare and not always reliable. Recent cross-cultural studies, on the other hand, suggest some communities are more olfactorily oriented than previously supposed. …”

Cross-cultural evaluation of the short form 8-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8): results from America, Canada, Japan, Italy and Spain. by Jenkinson, C, Fitzpatrick, R

“…CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that the PDQ-8 is a valid and reliable measure that can be appropriately and meaningfully used in cross-cultural studies.…”

The structure of the symptoms of major depression: exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis in depressed Han Chinese women. by Li, Y, Aggen, S, Shi, S, Gao, J, Li, Y, Tao, M, Zhang, K, Wang, X, Gao, C, Yang, L, Liu, Y, Li, K, Shi, J, Wang, G, Liu, L, Zhang, J, Du, B, Jiang, G, Shen, J, Zhang, Z, Liang, W, Sun, J, Hu, J, Liu, T, Wang, X

“…In addition to a general depressive symptom factor, a complete picture must include factors reflecting typical/atypical vegetative symptoms, cognitive symptoms (hopelessness/suicidal ideation), and an agitated symptom factor characterized by anxiety, guilt, helplessness and irritability. Prior cross-cultural studies, factor analyses of MD in Western populations and empirical findings in this sample showing risk factor profiles similar to those seen in Western populations suggest that our results are likely to be broadly representative of the human depressive syndrome.…”

Moral hypocrisy in economic games — How prosocial behavior is shaped by social expectations by Caviola, L, Faulmüller, N

Exploring the effects of an evidenced-based professional development programme on teaching and learning in Chinese kindergartens by Huang, R

“…In addition, this research offered the first rigorous test of the cross-national adaptations of a PD programme, which can contribute to cross-cultural studies. Constructing PD programmes in terms of the “what”, “how”, and “who” framework, and integrating evidence-based elements into this framework with contextually- and culturally-appropriate adaptations could be used in future PD designs. …”

Big-fish-little-pond effect on academic self-concept. A cross-cultural (26-country) test of the negative effects of academically selective schools. by Marsh, H, Hau, K

“…This study, the largest cross-cultural study of the BFLPE ever undertaken, tested theoretical predictions for nationally representative samples of approximately 4,000 15-year-olds from each of 26 countries (N = 103,558) who completed the same self-concept instrument and achievement tests. …”

Explaining paradoxical relations between academic self-concepts and achievements: Cross-cultural generalizability of the internal/external frame of reference predictions across 26... by Marsh, H, Hau, K

“…The internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model explains a seemingly paradoxical pattern of relations between math and verbal self-concepts and corresponding measures of achievement, extends social comparison theory, and has important educational implications. In a cross-cultural study of nationally representative samples of 15-year-olds from 26 countries (total N = 55,577), I/ E predictions were supported in that (a) math and verbal achievements were highly correlated, but math and verbal self-concepts were nearly uncorrelated; (b) math achievement had positive effects on math self-concept, but negative effects on verbal self-concept; and (c) verbal achievement had positive effects on verbal self-concept, but negative effects on math self-concept. …”
