本文讨论了不同的跨国衡量和比较国民性格的方法，分别从一个多方面的现象和一个具体的方面，如生活质量。使用在七个国家收集的数据，我们首先将带有VA表示的GHT模型应用于全球和特定的生活质量项目池，利用“超级文化”的概念作为国家之间比较的基础。然后，我们对另一个全球项目库和生活质量项目进行了主成分分析，比较了不同国家之间不同态度的结构和生活质量的实质性水平。不同分析方法的实质性结果在某些方面是一致的，在其他方面是不同的。重要的是，该文件强调了不同方法的互补性，认为这是在跨国背景下理解民族特征的同样富有成效的方法。
This paper discusses different methods of measuring and comparing national character cross-nationally, considered respectively in terms of a multifaceted phenomenon and a specific aspect such as the quality of life. Using data collected in seven nations, we first applied the GHT model with VA representations to both a global and a specific pool of quality of life items, making use of the concept of “superculture” as a basis of comparison among countries. We then undertook principal components analysis for another global pool of items and the quality of life items, comparing the structure of different attitudes and the substantive level of quality of life among countries. The substantive results of the different methods of analyses concurred in some respects and differed in others. Importantly, the paper underscored the complementarity of different methods as equally fruitful ways to understanding national character in a cross-national context.
