Abstract

This chapter deals with assessment of stress in different groups, across or within societies, and the comparison of scores. It is argued that scores on scales can be subject to various kinds of cultural bias. Three sources are distinguished: construct bias, method bias, and item bias. Bias can be avoided, in part, through careful development and transfer of instruments. Bias can be identified through various forms of analysis of equivalence.
