This book explores the extent to which linguistic and conceptual equivalence in survey instruments affects the reliability of the findings of comparative cross-national marketing surveys. The author reports on the results of research conducted in three French-speaking countries and two English-speaking countries. The analysis examines the reliability of various demographic and behavioral variables in consumer surveys. The author finds that demographic characteristics have a higher degree of reliability than soft variables such as task/decision involvement and life style/psychographic factors. The book also examines the extent to which life style/psychographic variables exhibit consistency across language groups and sample sizes. The book identifies the specific sources of measurement error and suggests methods for correcting for the errors. The author concludes by emphasizing the need for researchers to include detailed reliability assessments in the reporting of multinational consumer research findings.
