The findings of Ho and Nesbit (2009) "demonstrated good relibility and stable
factor structure for the modified scale" (p. 450). Most important, their modification of the
survey to accommodate a collectivist perspective resulted in acceptable levels of
reliability on the dimensions that had failed (self-observation, evaluations of beliefs and
assumptions, natural rewards, and self-punishment) in Neubert and Wu's Chinese sample
(p. 450). The uniqueness of this cross cultural approach in deploying RSLQ demonstrated
to Ho and Nesbit that "relation-based natural rewards consistently merged with the taskbased
self-observation (the original subscale) to form one factor, suggesting that, in
Chinese culture, task-based self-observation cannot be separated from relation-based selfobservation"
(p. 450).
