本文介绍了一个心理测量学模型，称为广义高阈值（GHT）模型的民意数据的基础上的民族性格的跨国比较研究的实用性。这个模型提供了一种标量测量，衡量每个国家对一种被称为超文化的假设文化的顺从程度。超文化是一种“标准”，用来比较这些国家，以阐明它们之间的相互关系。此外，一种新的表示方法称为矢量角（VA）表示的GHT模型的图形表示。在这种表示中，所有国家都被表示为向量，并且通过这些向量之间的角度来表示跨国民意研究的一致性度量和响应的匹配率。GHT模型和VA表示被应用到两个案例中：民族性格的比较研究（法国，联邦德国，日本，英国和美国）;对欧共体统一问题的意见的比较研究（12个欧洲国家）。这些应用表明，在探索性研究阶段，该模型和代表性的领域独立和特定领域的民族性格比较研究的效用。
This paper shows the utility of a psychometric model called the generalized high threshold (GHT) model to cross-national comparative studies of national characters based on public opinion data. This model provides a sort of scalar measure of conformity of each nation to a hypothetical culture called the superculture. The superculture is a “standard” against which those nations are compared for the elucidation of their mutual relationships. Furthermore, a new representation method called the vectorial angular (VA) representation is developed for a graphical representation of the GHT model. In this representation all nations are represented as vectors, and the measures of conformity and the matching rates of responses of cross-national public opinion research are represented by the angles between those vectors. The GHT model and the VA representation are applied to two cases: the comparative study of national characters (France, FRG, Japan, the UK and the USA); the comparative study of opinions on the issues of EC unification (12 European countries). These applications show the utility of the model and representation for both domain-independent and domain-specific comparative studies of national characters at the exploratory phase of research.
