Intended to bridge the gap between the latest methodological
developments and cross-cultural research, this interdisciplinary
resource presents the latest strategies for analyzing
cross-cultural data. Techniques are demonstrated through the use of
applications that employ cross-national data sets such as the
latest European Social Survey. With an emphasis on the generalized
latent variable approach, internationally prominent researchers
from a variety of fields explain how the methods work, how to apply
them, and how they relate to other methods presented in the book.
Syntax and graphical and verbal explanations of the techniques are
included. Online resources, available at
www.routledge.com/9781138690271, include some of the data sets and
syntax commands used in the book. Applications from the behavioral
and social sciences that use real data-sets demonstrate: The use of
samples from 17 countries to validate the resistance to change
scale across these nations How to test the cross-national
invariance properties of social trust The interplay between social
structure, religiosity, values, and social attitudes A comparison
of anti-immigrant attitudes and patterns of religious orientations
across European countries. The second edition includes six new
chapters and two revised ones presenting exciting developments in
the literature of cross-cultural analysis including topics such as
approximate measurement invariance, alignment optimization,
sensitivity analyses, a mixed-methods approach to test for
measurement invariance, and a multilevel structural equation
modeling approach to explain noninvariance. This book is intended
for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students interested in
cross-cultural research. Because the applications span a variety of
disciplines, the book will appeal to researchers and students in:
psychology, political science, sociology, education, marketing and
economics, geography, criminology, psychometrics, epidemiology, and
public health, as well as those interested in methodology. It is
also appropriate for an advanced methods course in cross-cultural
analysis.
