Measurement Invariance, Factor Analysis and Factorial Invariance.

Meredith, William

Psychometrika, v58 n4 p525-43 Dec 1993

A conceptual framework is provided for thinking about measurement invariance (or bias), and conditions are demonstrated under which invariance can occur. Tools are suggested for addressing such issues as fairness in employment testing, salary equity, and cross-sectional developmental change. Strict factorial invariance is required for fairness/equity to exist. (SLD)
