Johnson, Emily C.; Meade, Adam W.; DuVernet, Amy M. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Confirmatory factor analytic tests of measurement invariance (MI) require a referent indicator (RI) for model identification. Although the assumption that the RI is perfectly invariant across groups is acknowledged as problematic, the literature provides relatively little guidance for researchers to identify the conditions under which the practice…

Hox, Joop J.; Kleiboer, Annet M. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
This study describes a comparison between retrospective questions and daily diaries inquiring about positive and negative support in spousal interactions. The design was a multitrait-multimethod matrix with trait factors of positive and negative support, and method factors of retrospective questions and daily asked questions. Five questions were…

Jones-Farmer, L. Allison; Pitts, Jennifer P.; Rainer, R. Kelly – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Although SAS PROC CALIS is not designed to perform multigroup comparisons, it is believed that SAS can be "tricked" into doing so for groups of equal size. At present, there are no comprehensive examples of the steps involved in performing a multigroup comparison in SAS. The purpose of this article is to illustrate these steps. We demonstrate…
