One approach to cross-cultural studies of personality

Abstract

Twenty-three adult and nine junior cross-cultural studies of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) are reviewed. Male and female subjects from 26 different countries were invited to complete translated versions of the EPQ. The data were analysed to give factor comparisons to indicate the degree of resemblance of each country studied to the British groups. Some item substitutions were carried out in accordance with loadings (from factor analyses) and item content. Scoring keys were constructed and resulting reliabilities (alpha coefficients) were calculated. Finally, the method of cross-cultural comparison of norms is discussed.
