This paper focuses on methodology issues in conducting a cross-cultural research. First, it examines functional equivalence which is a basic condition in a cross-cultural project. Second, it discusses that the conceptual equivalence is a necessary and sufficient condition for cross-cultural psychology. Third, it puts emphasis on the importance of translation and metric equivalences in cross-cultural research. Although back-translation procedure has been often employed to make certain of translation equivalence, it also carries a potential for misuse. Finally, issues related to the better effectiveness of sampling are discussed. Many of these problems can be handled to a great extent by careful design.
