本文对多元文化人格问卷（MPQ）的效度进行了检验。作为有效性的标准，三个层次的调整。本研究以102名外籍人士为样本，在台湾工作期间进行。MPQ有文化同理心，开放性，社会主动性，情绪稳定性和灵活性的量表。MPQ量表似乎可以预测外派人员的个人、职业和社会适应。在所有三个领域中，情绪稳定性似乎是最一致的预测调整。社会主动性是心理健康的一个额外的强有力的预测因素，因为是文化同理心的生活满意度和社会支持的数量在东道国。弹性是工作满意度和社会支持的预测因子。这项研究还考察了婚姻状况对适应的影响。已婚外籍人士比单身或分居的外籍人士表现出更高的适应水平。
The present paper examined the validity of the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). As criteria of validity three levels of adjustment were used. The study took place among a sample of expatriates (N = 102) during their assignment in Taiwan. The MPQ has scales for cultural empathy, open-mindedness, social initiative, emotional stability and flexibility. The MPQ scales appeared to be predictive of expatriates' personal, professional and social adjustment. In all three domains, emotional stability appeared most consistently as a predictor of adjustment. Social initiative was an additional strong predictor of psychological well-being, as was cultural empathy of satisfaction with life and of the amount of social support in the host country. Flexibility was a predictor of job satisfaction and social support. The study also examined the effects of marital status on adjustment. Married expatriates showed higher levels of adjustment than expatriates who were single or separated.
