本报告探讨了跨文化差异的反应风格有关使用的评级量表。 受试者为高中生：944人来自仙台（日本），1,357人来自台北（台湾），687人来自埃德蒙顿和卡尔加里（加拿大），2,174人来自明尼阿波利斯都会区和弗吉尼亚州的费尔法克斯县。 对57个7点Likert型量表的反应进行了分析。 日本和中国学生比两个北美组更有可能使用量表的中点;美国受试者比其他三组更有可能使用极端值。 在每个文化群体中，对个人主义的认可与极端值的使用呈正相关，与中点的使用呈负相关。 这些小的，虽然统计上显着的，反应风格的差异一般不会改变项目的跨文化比较的手段。
This report examines cross-cultural differences in response style regarding the use of rating scales. Subjects were high school students: 944 from Sendai (Japan), 1,357 from Taipei (Taiwan), 687 from Edmonton and Calgary (Canada), and 2,174 from the Minneapolis metropolitan area and Fairfax County, Virginia. Responses to fifty-seven 7-point Likert-type scales were analyzed. The Japanese and Chinese students were more likely than the two North American groups to use the midpoint on the scales; the U.S. subjects were more likely than the other three groups to use the extreme values. Within each cultural group, endorsement of individualism was positively related to the use of extreme values and negatively related to the use of the midpoint. These small, albeit statistically significant, differences in response styles generally did not alter cross-cultural comparisons of item means.
