Testing measurement invariance across groups: applications in cross-cultural research.

Abstract: Researchers often compare groups of individuals on psychological variables. When comparing groups an assumption is made that the instrument measures the same psychological construct in all groups. If this assumption holds, the comparisons are valid and differences/similarities between groups can be meaningfully interpreted. If this assumption does not hold, comparisons and interpretations are not fully meaningful. The establishment of measurement invariance is a prerequisite for meaningful comparisons across g… Show more

“…Garante que os escores obtidos estão totalmente relacionados com o nível de traço latente dos sujeitos, independente do seu grupo (Milfont & Fischer, 2010). Tal teste é realizado ao estipular que os interceptos dos itens são equivalentes para os diferentes grupos.…”

“…A IMC ocorre quando todos os parâmetros do instrumento (configuração, cargas fatoriais, interceptos, e resíduos dos itens) são invariáveis para todos os grupos avaliados. Já a IMP pode ocorrer em duas situações: 1) quando apenas alguns parâmetros do instrumento são invariantes para todos os grupos, ou 2) quando todos os parâmetros do instrumento são invariantes para alguns, mas não todos os grupos (Milfont & Fischer, 2010;Vandenberg & Lance, 2000). Por exemplo, em um instrumento de dez itens, é possível que o pesquisador encontre que as cargas fatoriais de oito itens estão operando de maneira equivalente entre os grupos, enquanto dois itens específicos estão operando de maneira não-similar.…”

“…Thus, cross-national differences in SDQ caseness may be determined by its measuring construct (i.e., factorial structure) rather than real comparable differences in disorder rates. In the same line, Milfont and Fisher [36] pointed out that MI has to be demonstrated for a meaningful comparison of measuring constructs across groups. The evaluation of MI is important for determining the generalizability of latent constructs across groups and whether the MI and the construct being measured are operating in the same way across diverse samples of interest [37].…”

“…The comparative fit indices between the models were taken into account, considering the difference between the CFI models. The difference between the CFI (ΔCFI) should not be greater than .01, and thus, the overall results indicate the viability of restricting the factor loadings to be the same in different groups (Milfont & Fischer, 2010).…”
