Assessment of proneness to distraction: English adaptation and validation of the Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale (ARDES) and cross-cultural eq…
2016
Abstract Prior research developed the Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale (ARDES), a 19-item questionnaire aimed at evaluating the drivers’ predisposition to attentional error, and also provided validity evidence of ARDES measures across two countries: Argentina and Spain. In the current work we adapt the Spanish version of the ARDES to the English language and the culture, traffic regulations and driving habits of the UK, and then provide new evidence of the cross-cultural equivalence of the scale. First, an improved forward and backward translation design was used to translate the Spanish ARDES into English. A committee-approach review process was also performed during the translation …

Cross-cultural differences in consumer quality perception of rice
2014
International audience; Most aspects of food product quality perception are culture-bound. We present a cross-cultural study aiming at understandinghow consumers from four countries (French, Japanese, Korean and Thai) perceive, describe and appreciate rice and ricequality. Marked differences were found in participants' motivation to consume rice: sensory and commodity in France; sensoryand health in Japan; nutrition and commodity in Thailand; and nutrition, health and safety in Korea. For the description of ricequalities, despite a few cultural differences, especially between Korean and Thai descriptions of white and brown rice samples,similar sensory profiles were obtained in the four coun…

Analyzing measurement invariance of the students’ engagement instrument brief version:the cases of Denmark, Finland, and Portugal
2017
The promotion of students’ engagement with school is an internationally acknowledged challenge in education. There is a need to examine the structure of the concept of student engagement and to discover the best practices for fostering it across societies. That is why the cross-cultural invariance testing of students’ engagement measures is highly needed. This study aimed, first, to find the reduced set of theoretically valid items to represent students’ affective and cognitive engagement forming the Brief-SEI (brief version of the Student Engagement Instrument; SEI). The second aim was to test the measurement invariance of the Brief-SEI across three countries (Denmark, Finland, and Portug…
Le strategie di scuse, uno studio pragmatico cross-culturale fra l’arabo libico e l’italiano
2021
La mia ricerca si colloca nell’ambito della pragmatica contrastiva, un campo di ricerca il cui obiettivo è quello di mettere a confronto due lingue differenti in relazione alle strutture e alle forme che due lingue diverse usano nel medesimo contesto d’uso; le differenze fra queste realizzazioni linguistiche sono spiegate attraverso differenze di tipo culturale. I partecipanti allo studio rappresentano due gruppi di parlanti: nativi italiani e nativi arabi. La raccolta dei dati è stata effettuata mediante la compilazione di un sondaggio scritto di tipo DCT (Discourse Completion Test). In concreto, sono state elaborate 10 situazioni comunicative atte a generare nel parlante la sollecitazione…
Narcissism and the Strategic Pursuit of Short-Term Mating:Universal Links across 11 World Regions of the International Sexuality Description Project-2
2017
Previous studies have documented links between sub-clinical narcissism and the active pursuit of short-term mating strategies (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality, marital infidelity, mate poaching). Nearly all of these investigations have relied solely on samples from Western cultures. In the current study, responsesfrom a cross-cultural survey of 30,470 people across 53 nations spanning 11 world regions (North America, Central/South America, Northern Europe, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and East Asia) were used to evaluate whether narcissism (as measured by the Narcissistic Personality Inventory; NPI) was universally associat…
Bilingual panels: a tool to evaluate the role of language in descriptive tasks
2013
Cross cultural studies relating sensory profiles established in different countries suggest that part of the observed cultural differences might be due to language. Indeed, participants in cross cultural studies often have different food experiences as well as different languages and so the effects of language and cultures cannot be easily separated. A way to separate these effects is to work with bilingual assessors. Madagascar is a good candidate to perform such a study as two languages coexist in this country: Malagasy and French. Four flash profiles were performed to evaluate six samples of Moringa oleifera leaf powders: two in French and two in Malagasy. The descriptors generated by the…
Acculturation of foreign IT workers in Japan from a cognitive and business management viewpoint
2016
This dissertation investigates expatriate IT workers located in Japan in the contexts of their acculturation and thinking about workplace and business negotiations. Case studies of individual actors supported by surveys were chosen as the methods to gather data leading to findings about how expatriates develop in Japan, including their ability to adjust, accept, and reject schemata about business management situations. Individuals were chosen as a unit of study because they are the key figures who decide the economic fate of companies. Schemata were chosen as a study focus in the later articles because they are the cognitive location of information about home and host culture and come into …
