Confirmatory factor analyses on two distinctive psychological scales found a significant effect of the acquiescence response style (ARS) on item responses. On the other hand, strong evidence of the (in) extreme response style (ERS) and the mid-point response style (MRS), often mentioned as Japanese response styles, was not identified.

The present study investigated the cultural equivalence of Self-Monitoring Scales (Snyder, 1974) through an examination of differential item functioning (DIF) using structural equation modeling. The data were collected in Japan (n=211) and the US (n=171). Factorial analyses were conducted on three factors of Self-Monitoring Scales: Extraversion, Other-Directedness, and Acting. DIF analyses were then conducted between the Japan and US data on five items in Extraversion, four items in Other-Directedness, and four items in Acting. The results showed that partial factorial invariance was confirmed in both the Extraversion and Acting factors, and strong factorial invariance was detected in the Other-Directedness factor; therefore, each factor of the Self-Monitoring Scales showed reasonable evidence for their cultural equivalence. Based on the results of the DIF analyses and factor mean comparisons between the Japan and US data, the cross-cultural validity of these scales was discussed.

This study attempts to identify response styles of Japanese students by cross-level and cross-national analyses. Tasaki and Ninomiya (2013) demonstrated the existence of an acquiescence response behavior of Japanese students based on the model by Billet and McClendon(2000), who measured latent response characteristics as “style factor.” In this study, we used a different response style measurement model proposed by Weijters, Schillewaert, & Geuens (2008) positing that response styles are psychological constructs and observed response style variables are summary indicators derived from sets of various, but independent, test items. Results of cross-national analyses indicated that Japanese and Korean participants were more likely to choose a mid-point response (MRS) and less likely to choose an acquiescence response (ARS) than American counterparts, but no significant difference was observed for an extreme response (ERS) among participants from the three nations. Within the Japanese response style model, cross-level analyses showed that ARS scores were significantly higher than ERS scores, indicating that Japanese participants had an acquiescence response style, consistent with the findings from Tasaki & Ninomiya (2013).

This study aims at developing instrumental-consummatory communication scales and testing their validity and reliability by examining higher-order factor structures. Twenty-six items were composed in accordance with the definition offered by Festinger (1950) and related discussions. Through maximum likelihood exploratory factor analyses with promax rotation, after deleting five items that did not satisfy our content validity criteria, 21 items converged into 16 item with four factors, i.e., efficiency-clarity (4 items, α=.82), harmonic influence (3 items, α=.82), thoughts organizing (5 items, α=.88), and catharsis (4 items, α=.84) factors. The first two are considered to be sub-factors of instrumental communication and the latter two are thought to be sub-factors of consummatory communication. A series of confirmatory factor analyses and likelihood ratio tests across nest models showed that the fit of the higher-order solution did not significantly deviate from the first-order solution. Based on the fact that one less freely estimated parameter of the second-order model appropriately accounted for the six correlations among factors of the first-order model, it is concluded that the second-order factor model is more appropriate than the first-order model. In addition to the factorial validity of these scales, convergent and discriminant validity tested with related psychological scales and criterion-related validity hypothesized with gender differences in instrumental/consummatory communication were mostly confirmed.

This study aimed to identify how a response style (RS) affects differential item functioning (DIF) detections in cross-cultural comparison studies. RS is an individual’s systematic response tendency to survey questions. Following the representative indicators response style means and covariance structure (RIRSMACS) model introduced by Weijters et al.(2008), Tasaki and Shin (2017) developed an RS measurement model and quantified three RS types (acquiescence, extreme, and mid-point) in three nations (Japan, Korea, U.S.). Using the same data set, this study adapts their RS model to control for RS-related nuisance variances and to see if different DIF items emerge with or without the RS model. As a result of DIF analysis through the MGMACS approach, three nonuniform and five uniform DIF items were flagged on a 10-item psychological scale. By applying the RS model to DIF analysis, all the nonuniform DIF items and three uniform DIF items turned out to be non-DIF items. These results imply that RS-related nuisance variances may be a cause of DIF, and RIRSMACS can be used to control for RS.

The purpose of study was to test validity of self-construal scales through an examination of differential item functioning (DIF) using multigroup mean and covariance structure (MG-MACS) analysis. The data analyzed were composed of 368 Japanese and 152 European Americans. A series of MG-MACS analyses was conducted on 6 items, which have displayed two-factor model of self-construal in the previous studies. As a result, no items demonstrated nonuniform DIF, though uniform DIF was detected on two items. Since the number of DIF items was small and partial factorial invariance was established, factor mean comparisons were conducted. Consistent with the theories of self-construal, Japanese participants were significantly higher on interdependent self-construal and were significantly lower on independent self-construal than the American counterparts. Based on the results of DIF analyses and factor mean comparisons, cross-cultural validity of self-construal scales was discussed.

The aim of this study is to identify response styles among Japanese participants. Response style research has had a methodological concern that biased responses defined by the number of counts responding to certain category options run the risk of being confounded with item contents. Thus, following the approach delineated and outlined by Billiet and McClendon (2000), this study identifies response styles with the aid of structural equation modeling. Based on the premise that stable tendencies in response behavior are related to personality traits, the impact of response styles is partialed out from item responses by modeling a "style factor." Confirmatory factor analyses on two distinctive psychological scales found a significant effect of the acquiescence response style (ARS) on item responses. On the other hand, strong evidence of the (in) extreme response style (ERS) and the mid-point response style (MRS), often mentioned as Japanese response styles, was not identified.

The aim of this study was to gain more knowledge about college students' beliefs about english learning. With an aid of correspondence analysis that helps us to comprehend visually underlying relationships among categorical variables, this study particularly focused on exploring patterns in english learning beliefs and its relations to english proficiency. Fifty-eight first-year college students, who enrolled in an introductory english course, completed a questionnaire regarding beliefs about english learning. As a result of correspondence analysis, four clusters of english learning beliefs emerged. The first cluster consisted of three beliefs, "persistence," "interests in foreign cultures" and "goals." Such beliefs as "experiences of studying abroad" and "current conditions of learning english" formed the second cluster. The third cluster included two beliefs of "starting age of learning english" and "memory." "Quality of teachers," "past conditions of learning english" and "good sense of language" were the three beliefs constituting the last cluster. Furthermore, the group of students with high english proficiency was close in space to the first and second clusters where internal factors of learners and positive attitudes toward learning seemed to be emphasized. The group of students with low english proficiency was closely located to the third and fourth clusters in which external, uncontrollable factors in learning english appeared to be stressed. These results indicated that learning beliefs possessed by high english proficiency students were different from those possessed by low english proficiency students. Although the nature of correspondence analysis did not allow the author to draw any conclusion regarding the causal effect of these beliefs on english proficiency, this study showed a possibility that a type of learning beliefs promoting english proficiency might exist.
