Converging Measurement of Horizontal and Vertical Individualism and Collectivism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The constructs of horizontal (H) and vertical (V) individualism (I) and collectivism (C) were theoretically defined and empirically supported. Study 1 confirmed, via factor analysis, that the 4 constructs, HI, VI, HC, and VC, which were previously found in the United States, which has an individualist culture, also were found in Korea, which has a collectivist culture. Study 2 investigated multimethod-multitrait matrices measuring the constructs and generally supported their convergent and divergent validity. Study 3 showed how these 4 constructs relate to previously identified components by H. C. Triandis and colleagues. Study 4 showed the relationships of the measurement of the 4 constructs to some of the measures used by other researchers.

In this study, we tested this claim in a cross-cultural comparison betw...

We join these authors in calling for further research on horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism constructs. We also highlight conceptual ...
