Abstract

The increasing importance of comparative studies across countries and over time has encouraged the collection of survey data in diverse contexts and time points in recent decades (e.g., the European Social Survey [ESS], the International Social Survey Program, the European Value Study, or the World Value Survey). These surveys share the goals of collecting comparable responses from large, national representative samples and of gathering data at multiple points in time to permit the study of differences and similarities among cultures and change over time. However, the methodological literature has emphasized that comparisons between groups and/or time points are not legitimate without first assessing whether the concepts used (e.g., human values) are indeed comparable across countries or over time (e.g., Billiet, 2003; Cheung & Rensvold, 2002; De Beuckelaer, 2005; Steenkamp & Baumgartner, 1998; Vandenberg, 2002; Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).
