A comparison of the invariance properties of the PVQ-40 and the PVQ-21 to measure human values across German and Polish Samples (2012, methodology): “As an overall criterion we use the CFI, according to which changes larger than 0.01 indicate noninvariance (Byrne and Stewart 2006).”
Testing for multigroup equivalence of a measuring instrument: a walk through the process. (2008, methodology): “Given these and many more such examples, the term test adaptation is used to describe this more advanced approach to the development and use of translated instruments (see Hambleton et al., 2005). I have summarized the basic steps in testing for cross-group measurement and structural equivalence whe”
The scales of general well-being (SGWB) (2017, methodology): “Consistent with best practices using higher-order models, each invariance test was conducted sequentially first on the lower- and then higher-order sections of the model (Byrne & Stewart, 2006).”
Testing for comparability of human values across countries and time with the third round of the European Social Survey (2010, background): “Thus, other more pragmatic fit measures such as CFI and RMSEA have been proposed that do not share the disadvantages of the chi-square and may deliver contradictory conclusions to those of the chi-square (Byrne and Stewart, 2006; Chen, 2007; Hu and Bentler, 1999; Marsh et al., 2004).”
The role of vocabulary depth in predicting reading comprehension among English monolingual and Spanish–English bilingual children in elementary school (2012, background): “Aside from the likelihood ratio test, other goodness-of-fit statistics have been recommended to test longitudinal measurement invariance (see e.g., Byrne & Stewart, 2006).”
Dimensionality of the Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale: Confirmatory Factor Analyses (2010, methodology): “Followed the steps outlined by Byrne and Stewart (2006), the factorial invariance of the instrument was examined in terms of: a) configural invariance, b) first-order factor loadings, c) second-order factor loadings, d) intercepts of the measured variable, and e) intercepts of first-order latent…”
The Intuitive Eating Scale-2: item refinement and psychometric evaluation with college women and men. (2013, methodology): “However, this test is almost always large and statistically significant with complex models and large samples (as in the present study) and therefore is an impractical and unrealistic criterion on which to base evidence of invariance (e.g., Byrne & Stewart, 2006; Chen, Sousa, & West, 2005).”
MEASUREMENT INVARIANCE OF A REFINED VALUES SCALE 1 Running Head : MEASUREMENT INVARIANCE OF A REFINED VALUES SCALE The Cross-National Invariance Properties of a New Scale to Measure 19 Basic Human Values . A Test across Eight Countries (2014, methodology): “As an overall criterion, we used changes in CFI larger than 0.01 as indicating the absence of invariance (Byrne & Stewart, 2006).”
WAIS-IV and Clinical Validation of the Four- and Five-Factor Interpretative Approaches (2013, methodology): “Each level had more constraints than the previous level (Byrne & Stewart, 2006; Chen et al., 2005; Keith & Reynolds, 2012; Meredith, 1993).”
