During the time of conducting our study, the reliability of the HADS as a clinical screening tool was critically questioned noting that although the HADS was used in TIDES, different measures were recommended from that international study.36 These measures were the PHQ - 9 for depression and the GAD - 7 for anxiety.4 36 Both these measures are recommended in the international guidelines for mental health screening of patients with CF, 11 which are since being used in CF clinical settings.15 31 Because of the current shift away from using HADS as a screening tool for depression and anxiety in CF, and because of the small sample sizes in each group (online and paper - based), we did not test measurement invariance to determine if the online version of HADS is equivalent to the paper based version.

The validity of the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire in a Greek sample: Tests of measurement invariance and latent mean differences.

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.

Furthermore, the results supporting the measurement invariance of the MLQ across gender are adding to previous research findings in several diverse cultures (e.g., Damasio & Koller, 2015; Boyraz, et al., 2013).

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.

Then, a multi-group CFA (MGCFA) was carried out in the entire sample (N = 1561) to test for the measurement invariance of the MLQ across gender.

To evaluate measurement invariance, the model was then tested in both gender groups simultaneously.

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).

The model, which was developed with U.S. populations, has recently been used in other cultural contexts and, as such, the measurement invariance of the ISR - PYD model across cultural contexts must be assessed.

The main purposes of the present study were to evaluate the measurement model of the SLSS and to test the measurement invariance across gender in a sample of American early adolescents.

This study examined the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of four measures used frequently in stress and coping research.

To address the research gaps noted above, the present study aimed to a) test the one - factor measurement model of the SLSS - English version in both male and female adolescents, and then b) examine measurement invariance of the one - factor model across gender groups, to determine if the one - factor model was confirmed in both gender groups.

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.
