“…In few cases were any attempts made to demonstrate the adequacy of the translation or its psychometric equivalence to the original instrument or to compare results with other available translations. A number of studies involving personality assessment with the MMPI were published (e.g., Abe, 1961, 1969; Butcher, Hama, & Matsuyama, 1979; Doi, 1969; Hama, 1966; Hama & Fusama, 1973; Hama, Mine, Mine, & Matsuyama, 1987; Hashimoto, 1968; Hayashida, 1962a, 1962b; Maruyama & Nishi, 1989; Masahiko, 1983; Miyahara, Ikeda, Tsutsumi, & Takamido, 1986; Ono, 1980, 1981, 1985; Ono, Kataoka, & Shindo, 1969; Shirayama, Iida, Shirayama, & Takahashi, 1996; Tada, Kikuchi, Motegi, & Sakai, 1995; Takaishi, 1969; Yoshida, 1974).…”

Psychological tests developed in the United States are being widely adapted into other languages and cultures around the world. This article examines the generalizability and utility of personality assessment instruments across cultures and addresses methodological issues related to using personality questionnaires in countries different from the one in which they were developed. This article specifically highlights the application of objective psychological tests in Asia with special emphasis on the most widely used and internationally adapted personality instrument, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory--2 (MMPI-2). Effective strategies for translating, adapting, and standardizing questionnaires in languages and cultures different from their country of origin are reviewed. The history of several successful adaptations of the original MMPI and MMPI-2 is surveyed to illustrate the extensive research base for the test in Asia. Current research is summarized, and recommendations for future research are provided.

“…1 1 In Japan, an exception may be the few researchers who examined the adequacy and equivalence of Japanese and English versions of the Todai Health Index and the MMPI (Miyahara, Ikeda, Tsutsumi, et al ., 1986; Takeuchi, Aoki, & Suzuki, 1993). …”

Translatability of Family Concepts into the Japanese Culture: Using the Family Environment Scale

Family concepts and their measurements interest many family researchers. There is a question about the extent to which family concepts are universal or influenced by the culture in which the instrument originated. Using the Family Environment Scale (FES), the authors examine the translatability of family concepts into the Japanese culture. Forward- and back-translation processes and cross-cultural assessment of reliability and validity are discussed. We suggest that there may be different degrees of translatability for each of the family concepts used in the FES and that evaluation of families in different societies necessitates culturally appropriate constructs and instruments. The discussion is built around Japanese data, which are compared to the American results.
