Measurement Invariance, Entropy, and Probability [PDF]
We show that the natural scaling of measurement for a particular problem defines the most likely probability distribution of observations taken from that measurement scale.

Editorial Measurement Invariance [PDF]
Multi-item surveys are frequently used to study scores on latent factors, like human values, attitudes, and behavior. Such studies often include a comparison, between specific groups of individuals or residents of different countries, either at one or multiple points in time (i.e., a cross-sectional or a longitudinal comparison or both).

Measurement invariance within and between subjects: A distinct problem in testing the equivalence of intra- and inter-individual model structures. [PDF]
We address the question of equivalence between modeling results obtained on intra-individual and inter-individual levels of psychometric analysis. Our focus is on the concept of measurement invariance and the role it may play in this context.

Assessing the measurement invariance of Free Will and Determinism Plus scale across four languages: a registered report [PDF]
Free will is assumed to be the core of an individual’s self-concept. Belief in free will has been studied extensively and was found to be correlated with many behavioural and psychological outcomes.

Testing Measurement Invariance for a Second-Order Factor. A Cross-National Test of the Alienation Scale [PDF]
Multiple group confirmatory factor analysis has become the most common technique for assessing measurement invariance. However, higher-order factor modeling is less frequently discussed in this context.

Measuring citizenship competences: Assessment of measurement invariance
Highlights: • Standardised questionnaires are used to measure the outcomes of citizenship education. • A prerequisite for cross-group comparisons based on these questionnaires is an assessment of measurement invariance.

Studies aiming to make cross-cultural comparisons first should establish measurement invariance in the groups to be compared because results obtained from such comparisons may be artificial in the event that measurement invariance cannot be established ...
