Testing for Multigroup Invariance Using AMOS Graphics: A Road Less Traveled

Byrne, Barbara M.·2004·Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the steps involved in testing for multigroup invariance using Amos Graphics. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOV) structures, 2 applications are demonstrated, each of which represents a different set of circumstances. Application 1 focuses on the equivalence of a measuring instrument and tests for its invariance across 3 teacher panels, given baseline models that are identical across groups. Application 2 centers on the equivalence of a postulated theoretical structure across adolescent boys and girls in light of baseline models that are differentially specified across groups. Taken together, these illustrated examples should be of substantial assistance to researchers interested in testing for multigroup invariance using the Amos program.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
