East Asians' Responses to Western Health Items.

Park, Kwang B.; And Others

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v19 n1 p51-64 Mar 1988

The disparity between interview and self-report data on East Asian mental health has been attributed to the following explanations: (1) incomparability of item content; and (2) cultural differences in the social desirability of questionnaire items. Examination of groups of elderly Korean, Japanese, and European-American subjects undermine these two hypotheses. (Author/BJV)
