“…These include back-translation, translation by committee, and testing for form and meaning equivalence (cf. Brislin, Lonner, & Thorndike, 1973;Mullen, 1995;Sekaran, 1983;Sperber, Devellis, & Boehlecke, 1994). For example, in a three-country study, Robertson, Al-Khatib, AlHabib, & Lanoue (2001) utilize back-translation (English to Arabic), and adapt items in each country for local idiom.…”

Data equivalence in cross-cultural international business research: assessment and guidelines

et al. 2008

Data equivalence refers to the extent to which the elements of a research design have the same meaning, and can be applied in the same way, in different cultural contexts. Failure to establish data equivalence in cross-cultural studies may bias empirical results and theoretical inferences. Although several authors have encouraged researchers to ensure high levels of data equivalence, no study has assessed the status of the field in relation to compliance with data equivalence standards. Accordingly, this study examines three aspects of data equivalence (construct equivalence, measurement equivalence, and data collection equivalence) within 167 studies that involve cross-cultural data published in the Journal of International Business Studies, Management International Review, Journal of World Business, Strategic Management Journal and the Academy of Management Journal from 1995 to 2005. The findings indicate that international business researchers report insufficient information in relation to data equivalence issues, thus limiting confidence in the findings of many cross-cultural studies. To enhance future research, a guideline for procedures for researchers to follow and report in establishing data equivalence is offered.

Intellectual and motor performance, quality of life and psychosocial adjustment in children with cystinosis

et al. 2009

Cystinosis is a rare multisystemic progressive disorder mandating lifelong medical treatment. Knowledge on the intellectual and motor functioning, health-related quality of life and psychosocial adjustment in children with cystinosis is limited. We have investigated nine patients (four after renal transplantation) at a median age of 9.7 years (range 5.3-19.9 years). Intellectual performance (IP) was analysed with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (seven children) and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (two children). Motor performance (MP) was evaluated using the Zurich Neuromotor Assessment Test, and quality of life (QOL) was studied by means of the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research Academical Medical Center Child Quality of Life Questionnaire. Psychosocial adjustment was assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist. The overall intelligence quotient (IQ) of our patient cohort (median 92, range 71-105) was significantly lower than that of the healthy controls (p=0.04), with two patients having an IQ<85. Verbal IQ (93, range 76-118) was significantly higher than performance IQ (90, range 68-97; p=0.03). The MP was significantly below the norm for pure motor, pegboard and static balance, as well as for movement quality. The patients' QOL was normal for six of seven dimensions (exception being positive emotions), whereas parents reported significant impairment in positive emotions, autonomy, social and cognitive functions. Significant disturbance was noted in terms of psychosocial adjustment. Based on the results from our small patient cohort, we conclude that intellectual and motor performance, healthrelated QOL and psychosocial adjustment are significantly impaired in children and adolescents with cystinosis.

“…Questionnaires were first translated into Tibetan, followed by a backtranslation procedure (recommended by Brislin, Lonner, & Thorndike, 1973). Using the translated questionnaires, an interview was conducted with three Tibetans who had good understanding of English, as suggested by Manson (1997) who described a structured inquiry to formulate cultural dimensions of PTSD.…”
