Abstract

Comparative surveys have a number of characteristic analysis issues in common. When measurement instruments are used in different cultures or are translated into different languages, the first analysis questions concern measurement equivalence. May we assume that these instruments measure the same constructs? How can we assess whether we have measurement equivalence?
