The Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses scale (STAR) is tested.
Cross-Cultural factor equivalence is tested through Covariance Structure Analysis.
The two STAR factors, Sensitivity to Provocations & Sensitivity to Frustrations, are supported across 5 countries.
A Hit-matrix method followed by MDS-T is employed to form clusters of countries.
The “clusters of countries” approach may enhance factor equivalence modeling.
