Cross-Cultural Analysis

This book presents the latest strategies and methodological developments for the analysis of cross-cultural data. Internationally prominent researchers from a variety of fields explain how the methods work and how to apply them.

" As was the case with the original volume, this updated volume fills an enormous need in the cross-cultural research literature. It provides a single go-to source of chapters on the methodological and statistical analysis challenges unique to cross-cultural research—or, for that matter, any research project in which group comparisons across levels and time are proposed. Each chapter clearly presents a unique challenge, why it is important, and how it may be addressed. This volume is a valuable contribution not only to cross-cultural researchers but to any researcher examining the similarities and differences between entities (people, groups, teams, organizations, etc.). It can be used as a reference book or as a supplemental textbook in advanced courses on cross-cultural research." – Robert J. Vandenberg, University of Georgia, USA

"This is a must-have book for anyone doing quantitative cross-cultural research in any discipline of social and behavioral sciences. Readers will appreciate book chapters prepared by prominent researchers for their practical and approachable presentations of core methods with examples that address major analytical issues and challenges." - Young Ik Cho, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA
