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.
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.
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).
Measurement invariance of the scales between genders was evaluated using the DIF test.
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.

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.
