engagement with the arguments presented in this study and patient support throughout have been of tremendous help.The empirical study has benefited from collaboration with Marie Chavent and Michel van de Velden, developers, respectively, of the software packages PCAmixdata for R and CAR for MatLAB. The statistical analyses apply a variant of multiple correspondence analysis that was not available to a wider research community before these packages. Fons J. R. van de Vijver, Xavier Bry, and Nicolas Robette have provided guidance in the difficult field of structural equivalence. Shalom H. Schwartz has helped set the record straight on the major issues in cross-cultural research and shared the database of the Schwartz Value Survey.
