Approximate Measurement Invariance in Cross-classified Rater-mediated Assessments [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 An important assumption underlying meaningful comparisons of scores in rater-mediated assessments is that measurement is commensurate across raters. When raters differentially apply the standards established by an instrument, scores from different raters

Psychometric evaluation of the Overexcitability Questionnaire-Two applying Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling (BSEM) and multiple-group BSEM-based alignment with approximate measurement invariance [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 The Overexcitability Questionnaire-Two (OEQ-II) measures the degree and nature of overexcitability, which assists in determining the developmental potential of an individual according to Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration.

Approximate Measurement Invariance [PDF]
, 2018 This chapter focuses on a practical analysis of the Bayesian approximate measurement invariance model using standard software. It introduces the concept of approximate measurement invariance and illustrates the use of its most basic variant. The chapter discusses the use of measurement invariance testing in latent variable measurement models.

Facing off with Choosing between Scylla and Charybdis: A comparison of scalar, partial, and the novel possibility of approximate measurement invariance [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Measurement invariance (MI) is a prerequisite for comparing latent variable scores across groups. The current paper introduces the concept of approximate measurement invariance building on the work of Muthén and Asparouhov and their application of ...
