Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adapting the measurement using double translation is the most culturally appropriate process. This involves translating the measurement into the target language, then having a bilingual individual from the target culture translate it back into the original language, and making revisions as necessary. This helps ensure that cultural nuances and differences in language are accounted for in the measurement. Using one language as a standard and translating "literally" may lead to misunderstandings or inaccuracies. Using a measurement "as is" for all ethnic minority groups ignores cultural differences and may not accurately measure the construct of interest.
