    Abstract

    There is a large and growing body of literature on methodology for ensuring that researchconducted in one cultural context can be replicated in a dissimilar context. Most of this workfocuses on situations of maximal cultural difference. This study investigates issues pertainingto the replication of research in a very similar cultural context, using the individual differencedimension of Need for Humour as its focus. Results show that even minimal culturaldifference can introduce unwelcome complexities if equivalence is not explicitly assured.
