摘要： 文化现象是行为科学关注的重要课题, 跨文化研究从文化对比的角度对文化现象进行阐释, 不过这类研究在研究方法上要面对一些相对独特的问题, 本文将从研究设计、测量、数据统计等方面分析跨文化研究中值得研究者关注的方法问题。作者首先从研究设计的角度分析如何通过汇聚方法(consilience methods)加强检验跨文化研究的因果关系的能力, 然后分析跨文化研究中测量对等性(measurement invariance/equivalence)问题以及相关的统计方法, 最后简要介绍了多层线性模型(hierarchical linear modeling)在跨文化研究中的应用、并讨论跨文化研究方法的发展趋势。

关键词: 跨文化研究, 汇聚方法, 概念对等性, 测量对等性

Abstract: The study of cultural phenomena is a major topic for behavioral sciences. Cross-cultural research adopts a comparative perspective in analyzing cultural phenomena, and is confronted with several unique problems in research methods. This paper reviews the major methodological issues in cross-cultural research, covering topics in research design, measurement, and data analysis. From a design perspective, the paper begins with the use of consilience methods to strengthen causal inferences in cross-cultural research. The paper then explores issues of measurement invariance/equivalence in cross-cultural research and the associated analytic procedures. Finally, the paper reviews the application of hierarchical linear modeling in cross-cultural research as well as trends in the development of cross-cultural research methods.

Key words: cross-cultural research, consilience approach, construct equivalence, measurement equivalence
