This user-friendly guide shows psychometricians, gradiate students, and social science researchers how to assess measurement invariance using computer programs, statistical methods, and real data.. It explains to those studying psychology, public policy, marketing, or management how to find out if their measures are invariant across groups.

This book focuses on the practical application of statistical techniques for assessing measurement invariance with less emphasis on theoretical development or exposition. Instead, it describes the methods using a pedagogical framework followed by extensive illustrations that demonstrate how to use software to analyze real data. The chapters illustrate the practical methods to assess measurement invariance and shows how to apply them to a range of data.
