Summary
Cross-cultural methodology has made significant progress. Yet, research methodology is in part a response to the challenges posed by research agendas given the intellectual and technological resources available at the time. Just as the contemporary achievements in cross-cultural research methodology are a response to the necessity of the synchronic cross-cultural research in the globalizing world of the late 20th century, the changing cultural landscape of the early 21st century demands a diachronic research agenda – cross-temporal research of psychological phenomena in human populations. Meaning equivalence and autocorrelation are highlighted as major challenges to both synchronic and diachronic approaches in cross-cultural psychology. Researchers need to meet these challenges in the future.
