Studies that begin with indigenous trait terms in many cultures

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting with indigenous trait terms in different cultures is a more stringent test of cultural universality than translation studies because it allows for the exploration of unique and culture-specific personality traits that may not have direct translations in other languages. This approach has shown that while there may be some overlap with the five-factor model of personality, there are also culture-specific traits that may not fit neatly into this framework. Therefore, option A and D are not correct as they suggest that these studies find universal personality models. Option C is also incorrect as this approach is more rigorous than translation studies.
