Abstract
This paper investigates whether a measure of adaptive behavior, which has been developed and validated in western countries, could be successfully adapted to a nonwestern country, Indonesia. The purposes of the study were to (a) delineate procedures for cross-cultural adaptation and validation of adaptive behavior measurement, (b) create an operational version of an instrument in an Indonesian setting, and (c) investigate the validity of the resultant instrument by studying whether it had the same psychometric properties as its United States counterpart. The results are discussed in terms of the usefulness of the methodology employed for ascertaining the worth of any operationalizations of constructs and themes borrowed from other cultures that will form the basis for educational program development and individual pupil assessment.
