Medical and sociological gun control advocates have also pointed out that such countries as Britain and Japan, with strict firearm controls, have far lower homicide rates than the United States. Gun rights activists question whether such cross-cultural comparisons are valid, noting that European and Japanese societies are more conformist and that it is social control, not gun control, that is responsible for their low rate of violence.

The data presented in this section are part of a cross-cultural study of which the main pnrpose is to compare two very supposedly different countries, Vietnam and France, throngh their respective emotional spaces (i.e., the way emotions are related to each other). For this comparison, we asked Vietnamese and French subjects to perform a Napping on a set of 53 emotions. The emotions were chosen in order to obtain a corpus of words that would be as diverse and comprehensible as possible. Pre-tests were condncted to make sure that the corpus was easily understandable. This study can be divided into two parts, corresponding to two main objectives, namely (1) to understand how emotions were perceived and structured within each country, and (2) to compare Vietnam and France in terms of emotions. To illustrate how Napping can be used to reveal oneself, through emotions as stimuli, we present here results issued from the first part of the study, restricted to the French data (100 French subjects). 

Skilled practice remains an integral part of engineering education and practice in other countries, such as Great Britain (Morice 1988 WhaUey and Barley 1997, p. 31), though it is beyond the scope of this chapter to engage in a cross-cultural comparison. 

Moreover, this study signifies the importance of examining psychometric evidence in context when an attitude instrument is used in cross-cultural scenarios, to ensure that responses in a new context still match the trait underlying the instrument and the comparison based on instrument scores is fair and sound.

Table 1 summarizes the PbB, other blood chemistry, medical, electrophysiological, psychometric, behavioural and demographic measures collected from participating children and parents. These measures were chosen to provide convergent information from several different perspectives to elaborate more clearly the subtle and complex effects of asymptomatic lead exposure on CNS development. Several tests were selected on the basis of guidelines later adopted at an International Symposium on Neurobehavioral Methodology in Pediatric Lead Research (Cincinnati OH September 1981). These guidelines included (1) use of standardized, age-normed tests with documented validity and reliability when available (2) use of experimental measures to evaluate areas of function for which standardized measures are not available, and (3) use of instruments with cross-cultural comparison data.
