与跨文化心理学的传统相反，在方差分析设计中，偏见被视为文化互动的刺激，这里认为（并说明）这种设计中的任何主效应或互动项都可以反映偏见。有人建议，只有当研究人员成功地引入外部变量的因素文化的方差可以减少到零，可以避免在解释观察到的跨文化差异的数据的困难。这意味着，在一个令人满意的跨文化研究中，没有任何差异需要用文化来解释。
Contrary to the tradition in cross-cultural psychology in which bias is identified with the stimulus by culture interaction in an analysis of variance design, it is argued (and illustrated) here that any main effect or interaction term in such a design can reflect bias. It is suggested that difficulties in the interpretation of observed cross-cultural differences in data can be avoided only if the researcher succeeds in introducing external variables in terms of which the variance in the factor culture can be reduced to zero. This implies, somewhat paradoxically, that in a satisfactory cross-cultural study there is no variance left to be explained in terms of culture.
