本土劣势是指以某一特定文化群体为研究起点或标准的研究所固有的劣势，包括跨文化研究。我们认为，主场地位是一个严重的障碍，往往推动研究人员走向赤字思维，无论研究人员的意图可能是好的。在这篇文章中，我们的目标是使这种主场偏见更加明确，这样做，更容易避免。我们讨论了三个经常被忽视的缺点，导致这种主场的地位：标记与无标记的文化的问题，同质与异质文化的问题，以及回归的问题。我们还推荐了四种研究人员可以应用的干预措施，以避免主场劣势，或者至少减轻其有害影响。
The home-field disadvantage refers to the disadvantage inherent in research that takes a particular cultural group as the starting point or standard for research, including cross-cultural research. We argue that home-field status is a serious handicap that often pushes researchers toward deficit thinking, however good the researchers' intentions may be. In this article, we aim to make this home-field bias more explicit and, in doing so, more avoidable. We discuss three often-overlooked disadvantages that result from this home-field status: the problem of marked versus unmarked culture, the problem of homogenous versus heterogeneous culture, and the problem of regression toward the mean. We also recommend four interventions researchers can apply to avoid the home-field disadvantage or, at the least, attenuate its deleterious effects.
