The aim of our study was to compare typical Thai and Hungarian personality profiles of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire (ZKA-PQ). 672 Thai and 647 Hungarian were included in our study. The distribution of age, gender and education level were matched. The ZKA-PQ was administered that measures Aggression, Extraversion, Activity, Sensation Seeking and Neuroticism. We tested reliability, the structural invariance and analyzed aggregated mean profiles for cultures as well as typical profiles by cluster analyses. Reliability of factors were acceptable in both cultures, but some facets (especially AC3 Restlessness) showed low reliability. The global Tucker's coefficient of congruence (TCC) for cross-cultural factorial invariance was 95. We have also run a Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis, but fit indices were not adequate. Cross-cultural neural network invariance was not met either. Hungarians scored significantly higher on Extraversion, Sensation Seeking, Aggression and Activity. Cluster-analyses revealed six typical profiles: Introverted impulsive, Reserved, Resilients, Overcontrolled, Aggressive impulsive and Positive sensation seeker. Majority of first two clusters were Thai respondents, majority for last two clusters were Hungarians. In sum, there were some cross-cultural congruence in factor structure, but strict invariance was not fulfilled. Comparison of mean profiles remain tentative, but cluster analysis revealed cross-cultural differences in typical profiles.
我们的研究目的是比较泰国和匈牙利的 Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja 人格问卷（ZKA-PQ）的典型人格特征。我们的研究纳入了 672 名泰国人和 647 名匈牙利人。年龄、性别和教育水平的分布相匹配。我们使用 ZKA-PQ 进行了测量，该问卷可测量攻击性、外向性、活动水平、感觉寻求和神经质。我们测试了文化间的可靠性、结构不变性以及聚合平均特征，并通过聚类分析分析了典型特征。两种文化的因素可靠性都可以接受，但有些方面（尤其是 AC3 不安）的可靠性较低。跨文化因素不变性的全局塔克一致性系数（TCC）为 95。我们还进行了多组验证性因素分析，但拟合指数不够理想。跨文化神经网络不变性也没有得到满足。匈牙利人在外向性、感觉寻求、攻击性和活动水平方面的得分显著更高。聚类分析揭示了六种典型特征：内向冲动型、保守型、坚韧型、过度控制型、攻击性冲动型和积极感觉寻求型。前两个聚类的大多数受访者是泰国人，后两个聚类的大多数受访者是匈牙利人。总的来说，在因素结构上存在一些跨文化的一致性，但严格的不变性并没有得到满足。平均特征的比较仍然是暂定的，但聚类分析揭示了典型特征的跨文化差异。
