对李克特量表的文化差异进行了研究。在南加州的少数民族或普通超市招募的自我认同的中国人、日本人和美国人（分别为N=136、323和160）完成了一个13个问题的连贯感量表，其中有四个、五个或七个中文、日语或英语的回答。日本受访者更频繁地报告量表的困难，中国人更频繁地跳过问题，这两组人在承认积极情绪的项目上选择中点的频率高于美国人，后者更有可能表示积极情绪。当有四个回答选项时，中国人和美国人的结构效度更好，当有七个回答选项时，日本人的结构效度更好。虽然文化影响的反应模式，协会的连贯性和健康感是积极的，在所有三个文化群体。(C)2002 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Cultural differences in responses to a Likert scale were examined. Self-identified Chinese, Japanese, and Americans (N=136, 323, and 160, respectively) recruited at ethnic or general supermarkets in Southern California completed a 13-question Sense of Coherence scale with a choice of either four, five, or seven responses in either Chinese, Japanese, or English. The Japanese respondents more frequently reported difficulty with the scale, the Chinese more frequently skipped questions, and both these groups selected the midpoint more frequently on items that involved admitting to a positive emotion than did the Americans, who were more likely to indicate a positive emotion. Construct validity of the scale tended to be better for the Chinese and the Americans when there were four response choices and for the Japanese when there were seven. Although culture affected response patterns, the association of sense of coherence and health was positive in all three cultural groups. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
