AB  - In this paper, we examined the psychometric properties of cross-cultural 
      validation and replicability (i.e. measurement invariance) of the Belief in a 
      Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) scale, measuring antagonistic belief about interpersonal 
      relations over scarce resources. The factorial structure of the BZSG scale was 
      investigated in student samples from 36 countries (N = 9907), using separate 
      confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) for each country. The cross-cultural 
      validation of the scale was based on multigroup confirmatory factor analyses 
      (MGCFA). The results confirmed that the scale had a one-factor structure in all 
      countries, in which configural and metric invariance between countries was 
      confirmed. As a zero-sum belief about social relations perceived as antagonistic, 
      BZSG is an important factor related to, for example, social and international 
      relations, attitudes toward immigrants, or well-being. The paper proposes 
      different uses of the BZSG scale for cross-cultural studies in different fields 
      of psychology: social, political, or economic.
