Raven’s test performance of sub-Saharan Africans: average performance, psychometric properties, and the Flynn Effect (2010, background): “We also consider the psychometric issue of measurement invariance (Mellenbergh, 1989; Millsap & Everson, 1993), which is crucial (e.g., Byrne et al., 2009) to the comparability of test scores across cultural groups in terms of latent variables, such as general intelligence.”
Identity dynamics in adolescence: Processes, antecedents, and consequences* (2018, background): “However, before discussing these aspects it is necessary to address a crucial methodological issue: cultural differences in identity can be validly examined only after having tested measurement invariance (e.g., Byrne et al., 2009).”
Testing practices in the 21st century: developments and European psychologists' opinions (2012, background): “The first area is the international use of tests, due to increasing globalization and ease of communication, which poses a whole series of problems of adaptation of tests from one country to another, such as the equivalence of constructs in both cultures, the psychometric properties of the adapted v”
A comparison of the invariance properties of the PVQ-40 and the PVQ-21 to measure human values across German and Polish Samples (2012, background): “If invariance is not established, interpretations of comparisons between groups are problematic (Byrne et al. 2009; Chen 2008).”
[International Test Commission Guidelines for test translation and adaptation: second edition]. (2013, unknown): “La primera es el uso internacional de los tests, debido a la globalización creciente y a las facilidades de comunicación, lo cual plantea todo un conjunto de problemas de adaptación de los tests de unos países a otros (Byrne et al., 2009; Hambleton et al., 2005).”
Testing for Measurement and Structural Equivalence in Large-Scale Cross-Cultural Studies: Addressing the Issue of Nonequivalence (2010, background): “(For a comprehensive elaboration of these complexities, readers are referred to Byrne, Oakland, Leong, van de Vijver, Hambleton, Cheung, & Bartram, 2009 .”
