The focus of this study is verification of the cross-cultural robustness of Piedmont's Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS, Piedmont, 1999) with regard to a sample of Czech students (N = 410). Means and variances of individual items as well as of the original scales (Prayer Fulfilment, Universality, and Connectedness) were found comparable, with differences well understandable in the context of general cross-cultural differences, especially of the dramatically higher explicit religiosity of the American population. Patterns of scale inter-correlations and alpha-reliabilities were also comparable. Exploratory factor analysis, using the same procedure as that of R. Piedmont, yielded factors similar to the original ones, with the reservation that two of them were less clearly differentiated from each other. This similarity could be improved by means of target rotation, especially if the principle of simple structure was given up, in favour of the fit in critical factor loadings. Confirmatory factor analysis, however, revealed only limited agreement in terms of statistical significance.

The article examines cross-cultural differences encountered in the cognitive processing of specific cartographic stimuli. We conducted a comparative experimental study on 98 participants from two different cultures, the first group comprising Czechs (N = 53) and the second group comprising Chinese (N = 22) and Taiwanese (N = 23). The findings suggested that the Central European participants were less collectivistic, used similar cognitive style and categorized multivariate point symbols on a map more analytically than the Asian participants. The findings indicated that culture indeed influenced human perception and cognition of spatial information. The entire research model was also verified at an individual level through structural equation modelling (SEM). Path analysis suggested that individualism and collectivism was a weak predictor of the analytic/holistic cognitive style. Path analysis also showed that cognitive style considerably predicted categorization in map point symbols.
