Measuring Loneliness Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults: The UCLA and de Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scales (2014, methodology): “This involved testing four increasingly stringent invariance assumptions—configural, weak, strong, and strict invariance (Meredith 1993; Wu et al. 2007).”
Multiple-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis in R--A Tutorial in Measurement Invariance with Continuous and Ordinal Indicators. (2014, methodology): “An open issue pertains the use of different decision rules for invariance (Wu et al., 2007).”
Measurement Invariance in International Surveys: Categorical Indicators and Fit Measure Performance (2017, result): “At least in terms of the CFI, our result was consistent with similar research that fit continuous MG-CFA models to data from nine countries (Wu et al., 2007).”
A Demonstration of a Systematic Item-Reduction Approach Using Structural Equation Modeling (2012, methodology): “A ratio t test was conducted in an effort to determine whether a significant change in the complexity levels of the primary factor, as indicated by the change in the ratio of number of factors to number of items (Wu et al., 2007) was present.”
Teachers' Conceptions of Assessment in Chinese Contexts: A Tripartite Model of Accountability, Improvement, and Irrelevance. (2011, result): “Hence, this analysis supports the interpretation that the constrained equivalent hierarchical model does not have to be rejected and that the two groups of teachers responded to the inventory in equivalent fashion, despite differences between jurisdictions (Wu et al., 2007).”
Mapping India’s regional subcultures: Implications for international management (2015, background): “The change in fit indices was small and supported invariance of the factor loadings across the different regions (Chen, 2007; Cheung & Rensvold, 2002; Milfont & Fischer, 2010; Wu et al., 2007).”

The Influence of Socioeconomic Status, Self-Efficacy, and Anxiety on Mathematics Achievement in England, Greece, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the USA (2015, unknown): “Following Wu et al.’s (2007) recommendation which is Δχ2 is too strict and CFI is too lenient, a change in CFI of less than .”
Development of a Scale to Measure Memorable Tourism Experiences (2010, methodology): “…is problematic because if one unit change in the item score does not result in an equal unit change in the factor score across groups, the regression lines are not identical because the slopes are unequal; hence the regression lines are not identical for the groups (Wu, Li, and Zumbo 2007, p. 8).”
