Direct linkByrne, Barbara M.; van de Vijver, Fons J. R. – International Journal of Testing, 2014
In cross-cultural research, there is a tendency for researchers to draw inferences at the country level based on individual-level data. Such action implicitly and often mistakenly assumes that both the measuring instrument and its underlying construct(s) are operating equivalently across both levels. Based on responses from 5,482 college students…

Byrne, Barbara M.; van de Vijver, Fons J. R. – International Journal of Testing, 2010
A critical assumption in cross-cultural comparative research is that the instrument measures the same construct(s) in exactly the same way across all groups (i.e., the instrument is measurement and structurally equivalent). Structural equation modeling (SEM) procedures are commonly used in testing these assumptions of multigroup equivalence.…

Peer reviewedByrne, Barbara M.; Campbell, T. Leanne – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1999
Demonstrates the extent to which item-score data can vary across cultures despite measurements from an instrument in which factorial structure is specified in each group. Scores from the Beck Depression Inventory for 658 Canadian, 1,096 Swedish, and 691 Bulgarian high school students illustrate the differences. Discusses implications for…

An Australian study and a Canadian study evaluated the ability of significant others to infer multiple dimensions of self-concept of university students accurately. Subjects were 151 Australian and 941 Canadian university students. Four factor analyses (self- and other-responses by Australians and Canadians) all clearly identified the 13 factors…

Peer reviewedMarsh, Herbert W.; Byrne, Barbara M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1993
Extensions of the confirmatory factor analysis approach to multitrait-multimethod data are demonstrated, and self-other agreement on multiple dimensions of self-concept are evaluated in 2 studies investigating the ability of significant others to infer multiple dimensions of self-concept for 151 Australian and 941 Canadian college students.

Marsh, Herbert W.; Byrne, Barbara M. – 1990
Self/other agreement between self-concept ratings by the individual and self-concepts inferred by significant others is of theoretical and practical importance, but the review by J. S. Shrauger and T. J. Schoeneman (1979) found no evidence for such agreement. In the present investigation, the Self Description Questionnaire III (SDQIII) was…
