However, often equivalence is not present and, as a result, comparisons across groups are problematic and biased. Scalar equivalence is only seldom supported by the data. In the current study we propose utilizing a multilevel structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to model and explain scalar in-equivalence. This method does not resolve in- equivalence but rather illuminates why it is present. We illustrate the method using data on human values (Schwartz 1992) from the second round of the European Social Survey. Thus, a new direction for research even when equivalence is not present is proposed. Key words: Human values; Configural, metric, and scalar equivalence; Multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) / Multilevel structural equation modelling (SEM); European Social Survey; Comparisons over time and/or countries.
Presenter Kankaraš, Miloš; Dept. Methodology and Statistics, Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences Authors Miloš Kankaraš and Guy Moors; Tilburg University Title Cross-National and Cross-Ethnic Differences in Attitudes. How do minorities’ attitudes align? Abstract Minorities’ attitudes can be compared to attitudes of fellow citizen within the host country as well as to attitudes of the motherland. Given the heterogeneity of Luxembourg’s minority groups, this country is a relevant example case in which the comparison needs to involve answering a two-folded question. First we analyze the level of measurement equivalence, i.e. the extent to which different groups can be compared. Secondly, we examine whether ethnic-cultural groups within Luxembourg resemble citizens from their native country more than their country of residence. Using EVS-date from 2008 we demonstrate different types of outcomes. Results indicated that cultural background is more important than national context in the case of culturally more distant minorities to Luxembourg’s resident population, and that national setting is the prevailing factor when minorities are from neighboring countries. The effect of a common national setting is also important with regards to the issue of measurement equivalence, where it contributes to greater comparability of intra-national, cross-ethnic comparisons.
