Summary/Abstract: This article makes a series of methodological clarifications that are of the uttermost importance for the construction of cultural/intercultural research. The cultural and intercultural diagnosis methods that might be used, as well as the difficulties that might arise in this type of research, generally valid difficulties, but also difficulties derived from the particularities of a specific culture, which could be avoided if identified in time, are revised. Other methodological clarifications refer to what should be known before building the design of research. The criteria that should be met by the data collected for the purposes of ensuring the validity of the methodological construction are also discussed.
