Why Measurement Invariance is Important in Comparative Research. A Response to Welzel et al. (2021)

Sociological Methods & Research, 2022
Welzel et al. (2021) claim that non-invariance of instruments is inconclusive and inconsequential in the field for cross-cultural value measurement. In this response, we contend that several key arguments on which Welzel et al. (2021) base their critique

Examining academic performance across gender differently: Measurement invariance and latent mean differences using bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
The aim of this study was threefold: First, to examine the dimensionality of the construct of General Academic Ability (GAA) at the subscale level providing additional insights over and above on the conceptualization of the construct.

Are autistic traits measured equivalently in individuals with and without an Autism Spectrum Disorder?:An invariance analysis of the Autism Spectrum Quotient Short Form [PDF]

, 2014
It is common to administer measures of autistic traits to those without autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) with, for example, the aim of understanding autistic personality characteristics in non-autistic individuals. Little research has examined the extent

The Satisfaction with Life Scale in Adolescent Samples: Measurement Invariance across 24 Countries and Regions, Age, and Gender

Applied Research in Quality of Life, 2022
Measurement of adolescent life satisfaction across cultures has not received much attention in previous empirical research. The present study evaluated measurement invariance of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) among adolescents in 24 countries ...

Measure-Invariant Sets

The Annals of Probability, 1973
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $(\mathscr{R}, \mathscr{B})$, where $\mathscr{R}$ is the real line and $\mathscr{B}$ the family of Borel sets on $\mathscr{R}$. A measurable set `$A$' is called $\mu$-invariant if $\mu(A + \theta) = \mu(A) \mathbf{\forall} \theta, -\infty < \theta < \infty$.

Vitali’s theorem for invariant measures [PDF]

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1961
Csn, lim.,0 XkSn=0, and XkUU,/XkSn_oa. (Xk denotes Lebesgue measure in the space X = Rk. The number a is called a parameter of regularity at x.) The invariance under translation of the set-function Xk suggests the point of view adopted in the present generalization of Vitali's theorem.

Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS): measurement invariance across genders and item response theory examination

BMC Psychology, 2021
The Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) is a measure of subjective well-being and assesses eudemonic and hedonic aspects of well-being. However, differential scoring of the WEMWBS across gender and its precision of measurement has not been

Testing Measurement and Factor Structure Invariance of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale for Youth Across Gender

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Measurement equivalence is often assumed across comparison groups, a pervasive problem related to many self-report instruments. Measurement equivalence, also known as measurement invariance, implies that a measure has the same meaning across different ...
