Summary This case study describes research that examined the utility of psychological measures in a non-Western sample. The researcher describes the context of her research, common relevant designs and her experiences translating published measures, training interpreters, and collecting data. She highlights difficulties that occur across cultural and language boundaries, emphasizing both those related to logistical concerns, such as scheduling, and those related to conceptual concerns, such as potential participants' understanding of research. Readers are expected to gain better understanding regarding how to apply research methods when working with participants who are less familiar with basic research paradigms
