Abstract:
Steenkamp and Baumgartner (1998) developed a procedure to assess measurement invariance across cultures. The study presented here applied their procedure to a scale to measure cognitive age (Barak, 1979; 1987; 1998; Barak and Schiffman, 1981) and relied on data collected in three Non-Western societies: India (N=195), China (N=250), and Korea (N=251). The results from a series of confirmatory factor analyses indicate that the technique provides a valuable tool to assess measurement invariance across cultures. The results further showed the cognitive age scale to be applicable in the three diverse cultures surveyed.

Measures of Intelligence
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this; it...

Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
