The authors constructed the Analysis-Holism Scale (AHS) to measure analytic versus holistic thinking tendency. In Study 1, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a 24-item scale was developed. In Study 2, convergent and discriminant validities were tested. In Studies 3 and 4, the known-group difference validity was examined by comparing scores on the AHS of Americans and Koreans (Study 3) and of Korean students of Oriental medicine and Korean students of non-Oriental medicine majors (Study 4). Results of Studies 3 and 4 show that Koreans and Korean students of Oriental medicine scored higher on the AHS than did Americans and Korean students of non-Oriental medicine majors, respectively. Studies 5 and 6 tested predictive validity by examining associations of the AHS with performances on two cognitive tasks (categorization and causal reasoning). Data analysis shows that those with high scores on the AHS displayed the holistic pattern of performances on each task more than did those with low scores.
作者构建了分析-整体主义量表（AHS）来测量分析性思维与整体性思维倾向。在研究1中，通过探索性和验证性因素分析，编制了一个包含24个条目的量表。在研究2中，对聚合效度和区分效度进行了检验。在研究3和研究4中，通过比较美国人和韩国人（研究3）以及韩国东方医学专业学生和非东方医学专业韩国学生在AHS上的得分，检验了已知群体差异效度。研究3和研究4的结果表明，韩国人和韩国东方医学专业学生在AHS上的得分分别高于美国人和非东方医学专业韩国学生。研究5和研究6通过检验AHS与两项认知任务（分类和因果推理）表现之间的关联，测试了预测效度。数据分析表明，AHS得分高的人在每项任务上比得分低的人更表现出整体性的表现模式。
