A comment came from a reviewer who indicated that invariance should be done across cultural groups. Invariance across gender may not be conducted. This is the first time I have heard of this. I have done it many times and have read papers in which invariance across gender is done.
Hi Maher,
yes, it's possible to do it. However, maybe the problem is sample size, do you have at least 200 people in each group?
Hi Maher, another way around is possibly to make gender a dummy variable?
In response to Belen, the sample is in thousands, very large sample.
It is very typical thing to do in my opinion.
I am just back from the training meeting about testing invariance, and we were working on the example with gender groups and educational groups.
Professor Shalom Schwartz has published research in which he did such analysis for gender, unfortunately I do not remember its name
