The Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Adolescent Depression: The Roles of Social Support and Gender (2014, methodology): “3.1 Measurement Invariance of Perceived Stress, Social Support and Depressive Symptoms As has been suggested by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), when using the same measure in two different groups, measurement invariance should be established to make sure the measure taps the same construct (such as…”
The Perceived Stress Scale: Evaluating Configural, Metric and Scalar Invariance across Mental Health Status and Gender (2011, background): “, degree of perceived stress), but do not have equal probabilities of reporting particular items (Camilli and Shepard 1994; Vandenburg and Lance 2000).”
Toward a Further Understanding of and Improvement in Measurement Invariance Methods and Procedures (2002, methodology): “By far the most important observation made by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), however, was the fact that there were many cases in their collection of studies where inaccurate inferences would have been made by the various researchers if they had not undertaken the ME/I tests.”
Self-reported emotional intelligence: Construct similarity and functional dissimilarity of higher-order processing in Iran and the United States (2002, methodology): “The comparative t index (CFI; Bentler, 1990) and the nonnormed t index (TLI: Tucker & Lewis, 1973) were used following the recommendations of Vandenberg and Lance (2000).”
Relationships between organizational justice, organizational trust and organizational commitment: a cross-cultural study of China, South Korea and Australia (2017, background): “…MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003) As shown in Table 2, both configural and metric invariance models had adequate model fit, suggesting the three countries share the similar pattern of fixed and free factor loadings, and invariant factor loadings for like items (Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).”
The role of family support in work-family balance and subjective well-being of SME owners (2020, methodology): “Results indicated an acceptable model fit as recommended by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), χ2 (810,N = 213) = 1241.99, p .001, CFI = .90, RMSEA = .05, and SRMR = .06.”
Growth Modeling Using Random Coefficient Models: Model Building, Testing, and Illustrations (2002, methodology): “In contrast to hierarchical regression (e.g., Cohen & Cohen, 1983), structural equation modeling (Vandenberg & Lance, 2000; Willet & Sayer, 1994), or even multilevel RCM (e.g., Bliese, 2002b; Bryk & Raudenbush, 1992; Hofmann et al., 2000), where a sequence and order for testing these models is…”
The Construct of Creativity: Structural Model for Self‐Reported Creativity Ratings (2009, methodology): “We await the reaction of the research community on the current models in order to guide any intriguing model modifications that may be necessary during the examination of model invariance between demographically desperate subgroups (Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).”
Environmental Behavior in Cross-National Perspective (2017, background): “It is satisfied if the basic model structure and loading weights are invariant across groups, indicating that participants from different countries conceptualize the constructs and respond to the items in a similar way (Milfont & Fischer, 2010; Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).”
Affective Commitment to Organizations and Supervisors and Turnover: A Role Theory Perspective (2017, methodology): “To gauge model fit, we followed the recommendation of using the chi-square test in conjunction with other fit indices (e.g., Medsker, Williams, & Holahan, 1994; Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).”
Psychological capital: internal and external validity of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-24) on a South African sample (2013, methodology): “…well-established way to investigate construct validity, it should be noted that a more stringent test thereof, and the cross-cultural portability of the PsyCap construct, should be applied by conducting a full-scale invariance analysis (Dunbar, Theron & Spangenberg, 2011; Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).”
Testing the Dimensionality of Place Attachment in Recreational Settings (2005, methodology): “For readers unfamiliar with this procedure, several informative pieces have been written on the technique over the past decade (Byrne, 1998; Byrne et al., 1989; Li et al., 1996; Marsh & Grayson, 1994; Vandenberg & Lance, 2000).”
