The purpose of this study was to evaluate the following: 1) the construct validity of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (Steger et al., 2006), Greek Version using different explorative and confirmative factorial analysis approaches like Bifactor EFA, ICM - CFA, Bifactor CFA and ESEM; 2) the measurement invariance of MLQ across gender; 3) the internal consistency reliability of the MLQ; and 4) the convergent and discriminant validity of the MLQ with measures of well - being and mental distress.

More specifically, the objectives of this study are the following: 1) To validate the construct validity of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (Steger et al., 2006), Greek Version using both exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis techniques like Bifactor EFA, Bifactor CFA and ESEM; 2) to examine measurement invariance of MLQ across gender; 3) to study the internal consistency reliability of the MLQ; and 4) to evaluate the convergent and discriminant validity of the MLQ with the constructs of well - being, hope, anxiety, depression, stress, hope and resilience.

Keywords: Burnout, work engagement, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance

The invariance analyses compared two models, an unconstrained model in which only measurement model was constrained to be strictly invariant, but the structural model (regression weights and covariances) not, and a model testing both measurement and structural invariance (gender equality for regression weights and covariances).

Analyses of race - related measurement invariance showed acceptable invariance for the GDS and the CSES but less certain invariance for the WOCC and PSRS.

Analysis of the preschool SDQ comprised 5 stages, in turn assessing internal factor structure, internal reliability, measurement stability over time (measurement invariance), construct validity, and predictive criterion validity.

The SDQ's internal factor structure was assessed by using confirmatory factor analysis, with a series of competing models and extensions used to determine construct, convergent, and discriminant validity and measurement invariance over time.

Confirmatory factor analyses were employed to test measurement invariance between these two populations, Cronbach's alphas were calculated to determine the reliabilities of the scales, and partial eta - square tests calculated the effect size of the differences between socially anxious and healthy adolescents and between the adolescent boys and girls.
