Abstract

With an example from Japanese General Social Survey (JGSS) and East Asian Social Survey, this paper discusses difficulties in the construction of response scales in cross-cultural surveys. Issues on the cultural differences in response tendencies are examined with comparisons of response distributions from JGSS and EASS. Despite careful attempts to minimize biases, there can be problems in the instruments, which may influence the data quality. Challenges about the use of internationally validated scales are addressed with an example of EASS 2010 health nodule development.
