Welcome to the 14th episode of the AJSP Editors Podcast, brought to you by Yu Niiya, editor-in-chief of AJSP!
This episode focuses on the Special Topic Discussion. I had the pleasure to ask our Associate Editor, Dr. Vivian Lun, about the nuts and bolts of scale translations and the importance of scale validations in cross-cultural research. Scale translation and validation require more than just learning the steps. Vivian says it’s like learning how to dance!
Here below are some recommended references for scale translation and equivalence.
