摘要

目的 在不同国家和文化背景下开展心理研究,需要使用不同语言进行测量。然而,即使是同一多语言个体,测量语言也可能影响其反应。文化适应理论认为,一个人与一种语言的联系会影响其反应。此外,反应风格(RS),如极端或默许反应风格,可能会系统地影响反应,而与测量内容无关。这些影响在与文化相关的测量中有所报道,但在无文化的测量中还不清楚。方法和分析 我们的目的是研究语言对不明确考察文化因素的心理测量的影响。会多种语言的马来西亚人(n = 111)用马来西亚语和英语,或用普通话和英语填写了成人执行功能量表(ADEXI)、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-21(DASS-21)、简明问题应对取向量表(Brief COPE)、儿科生活质量量表(PedsQL)和传统男子气概-女性气概量表(TMF)。ADEXI 和 TMF 没有语言差异。但是,简明 COPE 的几个分量表、DASS 的压力分量表以及 PedsQL 的普通话得分高于英语。在简明 COPE 和 PedsQL 方面,普通话和英语的 RS 也存在差异,这可能是这些差异的(部分)原因。国语和英语的得分没有差异。然而,在简明 COPE 中,英语的 RS 比马来西亚语更极端,马来西亚语的 RS 比英语更默许。这些差异表明,这些测量并不是无文化的,或者以前报告的语言差异并不仅仅是文化造成的。测量的语言可能是另一个重要因素。在使用同一测量的不同翻译时,必须考虑到文化适应性和 RS。

Answering tendencies on questionnaires: Comparing Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia versus English
Aims Conducting psychological research in different countries and cultures necessitates measures in different languages. However, the language of a measure might influence responses, even within the same multilingual individual. The cultural accommodation theory proposes that one’s association with a language influences their responses. Moreover, response styles (RSs), such as an extreme or acquiescence RS, might systematically affect responses regardless of the content of the measure. These effects were reported on culture-related measures but are unclear on culture-free measures. Methodology and analyses We aimed to investigate the effects of language on psychological measures that do not explicitly examine cultural factors. Multilingual Malaysians ( n = 111) filled in the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale—21 items (DASS-21), the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief COPE), the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and the Traditional Masculinity-Femininity Scale (TMF) in Bahasa Malaysia and English, or in Mandarin and English Findings. There were no language differences on the ADEXI and TMF. However, several subscales of the Brief COPE, the Stress subscale of the DASS, and the PedsQL scores were higher in Mandarin than in English. On the Brief COPE and the PedsQL, there were also differences in RS between Mandarin and English, which might explain (part of) these differences. There were no differences between Bahasa Malaysia and English in scores. However, there was a more extreme RS in English than in Bahasa Malaysia and a more acquiescence RS in Bahasa Malaysia than in English on the Brief COPE. These differences suggest that the measures are not culture-free or that previously reported language differences did not result from culture alone. The language of a measure might be an additional important factor. When using different translations of the same measure, it is important to take cultural accommodation and RS into account.
