- Colectivism orientation scale (Bierbrauer, Meyer & Wolfradt, 1994)
The scale examines both individuals' perceptions of values and behaviours in their culture (13 items) and their evaluation of these same values/behaviours (13 additional items). Respondents record their answers on 7-point Likert type scales.
