This research examines the influence of language on the responses of bilingual Hong Kong Chinese managers. Subjects responded to either a Chinese or an English version of the Schwartz Values Survey instrument. The results suggest that the language in which an instrument is administered may produce "culturally accommodating" responses that can affect the results of a cross-cultural study.
