?:abstract
  • Three distinctive methods of assessing measurement equivalence of ordinalitems, namely, confirmatory factor analysis, differential item functioningusing item response theory, and latent class factor analysis, make differentmodeling assumptions and adopt different procedures. Simulation data areused to compare the performance of these three approaches in detectingthe sources of measurement inequivalence. For this purpose, the authorssimulated Likert-type data using two nonlinear models, one with categoricaland one with continuous latent variables. Inequivalence was set up in theslope parameters (loadings) as well as in the item intercept parameters ina form resembling agreement and extreme response styles. Results indicatethat the item response theory and latent class factor models can relativelyaccurately detect and locate inequivalence in the intercept and slope param-eters both at the scale and the item levels. Confirmatory factor analysis per-forms well when inequivalence is located in the slope parameters butwrongfully indicates inequivalence in the slope parameters when inequiva-lence is located in the intercept parameters.
