In this section, four instruments are discussed in greater detail. These instruments were chosen because they each meet four critical criteria. These criteria include an explicit theoretical and conceptual foundation for the assessment; a clear definition of the aspect of cultural knowledge being assessed; evidence of reliability and validity; and generalizability of assessment results to a broad and culturally diverse audience. Generalizability is defined here as the use and application of the instrument for several cultural groups, language groups, or both. Table 1 shows a summary of each instrument and how or whether it meets each of these criteria.
