The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and illustrate a methodology for advancing the study of construct validation in cross-cultural research, using existing data from an ethnographic survey of self-concept, as defined by Harter (1999), with adolescents in Sri Lanka. The content and structure of the ethnographic survey was determined by data derived through qualitative inquiry, therefore permitting triangulation of quantitative and qualitative information as a means to enhance the validity and reliability of findings (Schensul, Schensul, & LeCompte, 1999). Culture-specific constructs were previously identified via ethnographic interviews with Sri Lankan adolescents. In the current study, for the purpose of triangulation and factor structure refinement, student responses to the ethnographic survey are subjected to exploratory (to initially validate constructs) and confirmatory (to refine constructs and investigate alternative ones) factor analyses. These procedures provide opportunities to subject constructs derived from the completed ethnographic surveys to cross-validation efforts when evaluating psychometric properties and the trustworthiness of data. The survey on which this research is based was comprised of items addressing self-perceptions of culturally specific competencies and perceptions of the social value of these competencies held by various stakeholders. Six hundred and twelve Sri Lankan adolescents (ages 12--19) had completed the survey. The overall finding of this work is that three constructs emerged from the data, which were supported by quantitative fit indices and were reconciled with the existing ethnography. This suggests that the ethnographic construct identification procedures were successfully mixed with factor analytic approaches. This mixed-method approach has implications for survey development, creating methodologies to further the use of ethnographic instruments, data triangulation efforts, and universal aspects of self-concept along with their cultural manifestations.
