“…While the purpose of this study is broader in scope than item order studies in Hu and Bentler, 1999 the literature, it may be stated that it showed similarity regarding descriptive statistics being influenced by item order. Many studies, as with this study, have shown that mean scores obtained with equivalent groups being presented with different item orders in their self-reports differentiate (Schuman and Presser, 1996;Lasorsa, 2003;Kaplan et al, 2013;Saeki et al, 2013;Cornell, 2015, 2016;Shorey et al, 2016). In their study with a similar scope to the current study, Weinberg et al (2018) separately conducted EFA and CFA on the data they obtained from forms they presented in different manners to two groups.…”

Many studies have been conducted on the effect of item order in self-report questionnaires on mean scores. This research aims to study the effect of item order on measurement invariance in addition to mean scores. To this end, two groups randomly obtained from the same sample were presented a fixed order form in which all items belonging to the same dimension were adjacent to each other, and a random order form in which the items were randomly sequenced respectively. The results obtained revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the two forms. In the next stage of the study, the fit indices obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) applied to the two separate forms and the modification indices (MI) suggested by the software were compared. Both forms returned high modification suggestions for adjacent items or items presented near each other. Additionally, it was found that high χ2 reductions suggested by the MIs in one form resulted in low χ2 reductions in the other. Lastly, multiple group CFA (mg-CFA) was conducted to determine whether or not measurement invariance was achieved through different item order presentations of the scale. The findings indicate that measurement invariance could not be achieved even at the first stage of analysis. It may specifically be stated that presenting respondents items under the same dimension together ensures empirical findings congruent with theoretical structure.
