The International Wayfinding Strategy Scale: evidence for cross-cultural use with a sample from the UK

Abstract

This study suggested Lawton and Kallai’s (2002) International Wayfinding Strategy Scale was
appropriate for use in the UK. Participants at a Northeastern English university (n=148)
completed the scale. Principal components analysis (oblimin rotation) with 2 factors specified
supported the expected structure and indicated the scale could be used to measure wayfinding
strategies across cultures; however, 1 of the 17 original items on the scale was not suitable for
use with a UK sample and 1 item loaded on the opposite factor. The resulting orientation
strategy score was used more by men, but usage of the route strategy scale score did not differ by
gender.
