Question 1

In ________,also known as across-countries analysis,the data of all the respondents can be pooled and analyzed.
A)Cross-cultural analysis
B)Individual-level analysis
C)Pancultural analysis
D)Intracultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Pancultural analysis, also referred to as cross-national analysis, involves pooling data from respondents across multiple countries or cultures to identify similarities and differences in attitudes or behaviors. This type of analysis can help researchers better understand how culture impacts human behavior and can inform the development of culturally sensitive interventions or policies.

Question 2

________ are appropriate when one or more variables can be identified as dependent variables and the remaining are independent variables.
A)Interdependence techniques
B)Dependence techniques
C)Multivariate techniques
D)Univariate techniques

Accepted Answer

Dependence techniques are used when the relationship between variables is such that one or more variables are dependent on others, which are considered independent. This allows for the analysis of how the independent variables influence the dependent ones.

Question 3

For multivariate statistical techniques,when there is ________,multivariate analysis of variance and covariance and canonical correlation,and multiple discriminant analysis can be used.
A)variable interdependence
B)one dependent variable
C)more than one dependent variable
D)interobject similarity

B)Discarding respondents after analyzing the data raises ethical concerns.
C)Any departure from the assumptions underlying the statistical techniques used to analyze the data raises ethical concerns.
D)All of the above statements are true.

Accepted Answer

All of the statements are true regarding ethical issues in data preparation. Researchers must assess data quality, be cautious about discarding respondents post-analysis, and ensure adherence to the assumptions of statistical techniques to maintain ethical standards.

Question 5

The major multivariate technique for examining ________,is factor analysis.
A)variable interdependence
B)one dependent variable
C)more than one dependent variable
D)interobject similarity

Accepted Answer

Factor analysis is a multivariate statistical technique used for examining the interdependence among a set of variables. Therefore, the best choice is A - variable interdependence.

Question 6

________ is within-country analysis of international data.
A)Cross-cultural analysis
B)Individual-level analysis
C)Pancultural analysis
D)Intracultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Intracultural analysis is the analysis of data within a particular culture or country. It focuses on identifying patterns or trends within that culture or country, rather than comparing it to other cultures. Cross-cultural analysis compares data between different cultures, individual-level analysis focuses on the individual level, and pancultural analysis looks for universal patterns or concepts that apply to all cultures.

Question 7

________ is a multivariate dependence technique with more than one dependent variable.
A)Two-group discriminant analysis
B)Multiple regression
C)Multidimensional scaling
D)Multiple discriminant analysis

Accepted Answer

Multiple discriminant analysis is a multivariate dependence technique with more than one dependent variable. It is used to classify objects into two or more groups based on a set of predictor variables.

Question 8

For multivariate statistical techniques,when there is ________,cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling can be used.
A)variable interdependence
B)one dependent variable
C)more than one dependent variable
D)interobject similarity

Accepted Answer

Cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling are both used for identifying patterns in data based on similarities or dissimilarities among objects or observations. Therefore, these techniques are useful when there is interobject similarity, but not dependent variables. The other options (A, B, and C) all refer to the presence or absence of dependent variables, which is not relevant for these techniques.

Question 9

Univariate techniques can be classified based on ________.
A)whether the data are metric or nonmetric
B)whether one,or two or more samples are involved
C)whether interdependence techniques or dependence techniques are to be used
D)A and B are correct

Accepted Answer

Univariate techniques can be classified based on whether the data are metric or nonmetric and whether one, or two or more samples are involved. Therefore, choices A and B are correct. However, univariate techniques do not distinguish between interdependence and dependence techniques, so choice C is not correct. Therefore, the best choice is D - A and B are correct.

Question 10

________ is similar to that conducted in domestic marketing research.The objective is to gain an understanding of the relationships and patterns existing in each country or cultural unit.
A)Cross-cultural analysis
B)Individual-level analysis
C)Pancultural analysis
D)Intracultural analysis

Accepted Answer

The answer of ________ is similar to that conducted in...

Question 11

When utilizing univariate techniques,for metric data,when there is (are)________,the paired t test can be used.
A)only one sample
B)two independent samples
C)more than two independent samples
D)two or more related samples

Accepted Answer

The paired t-test is used when we have two related samples, such as before and after measurements on the same subjects.

Question 12

When utilizing univariate techniques,for nonmetric data,when there is (are)________,chi-square,Mann-Whitney,Median,K-S,and K-W one-way ANOVA tests can be used.
A)only one sample
B)two independent samples
C)more than two dependent samples
D)two or more related samples

Accepted Answer

Univariate techniques are used for analyzing one variable at a time. When the data is nonmetric, the appropriate tests are chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Median, K-S, and K-W one-way ANOVA. Chi-square is used to test the independence of two categorical variables. Mann-Whitney is used to compare two independent groups on a non-metric variable. Median is used to test the difference between two medians of non-metric variables. K-S test is used to examine whether two samples come from the same distribution. K-W one-way ANOVA is used to test for significant differences between two or more independent groups of non-metric variables. Therefore, the best choice is B - two independent samples, as it can be analyzed using Mann-Whitney, K-S, and chi-square tests.

Question 13

________ are statistical techniques that attempt to group data based on underlying similarity,and thus allow for interpretation of the data structures.No distinction is made as to which variables are dependent and which are independent.
A)Interdependence techniques
B)Dependence techniques
C)Multivariate techniques
D)Univariate techniques

Accepted Answer

Interdependence techniques are statistical methods that focus on grouping data based on underlying similarities without distinguishing between dependent and independent variables. These techniques are used to interpret data structures by analyzing the relationships among multiple variables simultaneously.

Question 14

The objective of this level of analysis is to assess the comparability of findings from one country to another.
A)Cross-cultural analysis
B)Individual-level analysis
C)Pancultural analysis
D)Intracultural analysis

Question 16

In ________,also known as across-countries analysis,the data can be aggregated for each country and these aggregate statistics analyzed.
A)Cross-cultural analysis
B)Individual-level analysis
C)Pancultural analysis
D)Intracultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Cross-cultural analysis involves comparing and analyzing data from different cultures or countries. It typically involves aggregating data for each country and analyzing the resulting statistics. Individual-level analysis, on the other hand, focuses on examining data at the individual level, rather than aggregating it by country or culture. Pancultural analysis refers to the study of universal human behaviors or patterns that occur across all cultures, while intracultural analysis looks at variations within a single culture or society.

Question 17

When utilizing univariate techniques,for nonmetric data,when there is (are)________,sign,McNemar,and Wilcoxon tests can be used.
A)only one sample
B)two independent samples
C)more than two dependent samples
D)two or more related samples
