Based on Lord's criterion of equity of equating, van der Linden (this issue) revisits the so-called local equating method and offers alternative as well as new thoughts on several topics including the types of transformations, symmetry, reliability, and population invariance appropriate for equating. A remarkable aspect is to define equating…

Since heterogeneity between reliability coefficients is usually found in reliability generalization studies, moderator analyses constitute a crucial step for that meta-analytic approach. In this study, different procedures for conducting mixed-effects meta-regression analyses were compared. Specifically, four transformation methods for the…

Outlined is a model for transformation of one factor matrix to congruence with a second or target matrix in which the correlations among the transformed factors are constrained to certain pre-specified values. Procedures are developed for implementing the model, and are illustrated with example factor solutions. (Author/RC)
