Abstract

Grouping research participants by culture or language proficiency may no longer suffice to investigate cognitive universals and differences cross-culturally, due to the interconnectedness of our multicultural world. Based on immigration psychology research, we provide a ‘proof of principle’ for three culture screening tools. Across five online experiments (total N = 440), we developed (1) The Cultural Traditions Questionnaire (CTQ), (2) the Arts Engagement in Childhood Questionnaire (AECQ), and (3) the Enculturation and Acculturation Quiz (EAQ). While these screening tools are tailored to Iranian and English cultures, the procedures provided here are expandable to other cultures. The screening scores predicted emotional attachment to a culture better than traditional variables used in cross-cultural research (self-ascribed culture group, country of residence during formative years, mother tongue). Continuous measures of enculturation and acculturation are potentially better predictors for downstream variables of interest, due to their finer granularity and capability to capture multifaceted cultural identities.

实证美学研究中的文化-文化适应筛选工具：原理验证研究

由于我们的多元文化世界相互关联，按文化或语言能力对研究参与者进行分组可能不再足以调查跨文化的认知普遍性和差异。基于移民心理学研究，我们为三种文化筛选工具提供了 "原理证明"。通过五个在线实验（总人数 = 440），我们开发了（1）文化传统问卷（CTQ）、（2）童年艺术参与问卷（AECQ）和（3）文化适应和文化融合测验（EAQ）。虽然这些筛查工具是为伊朗和英国文化量身定制的，但这里提供的程序可扩展到其他文化。与跨文化研究中使用的传统变量（自我描述的文化群体、成长期的居住国、母语）相比，筛选得分能更好地预测对某种文化的情感依恋。由于文化涵化和文化适应的连续测量方法颗粒度更细，而且能够捕捉到多方面的文化身份，因此有可能更好地预测下游变量。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Cognition and Culture provides an interdisciplinary forum for exploring the mental foundations of culture and the cultural foundations of mental life. The primary focus of the journal is on explanations of cultural phenomena in terms of acquisition, representation and transmission involving cognitive capacities without excluding the study of cultural differences. The journal contains articles, commentaries, reports of experiments, and book reviews that emerge out of the inquiries by, and conversations between, scholars in experimental psychology, developmental psychology, social cognition, neuroscience, human evolution, cognitive science of religion, and cognitive anthropology.
