Hello All, I have a question about measurement invariance in a multigroup SEM. I am of the impression that one cannot test the equality of structural paths across groups without demonstrating measurement invariance of latent factors first. At a minimum, this would involve demonstrating that corresponding factor loadings do not differ across groups using, say, a difference in chi-square test.
Am I right about this? Is there any published work that argues it is possible to compare the structural paths without demonstrating measurement invariance first? Thanks, Paul ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
