Example 24
subsets that appear in a black (that is, not gray) font are mutually exclusive and
exhaustive, so that column 3 generates a model in which all parameters are constant
across groups.
In summary, columns 1 through 3 generate a hierarchy of models in which each
model contains all the constraints of its predecessor. First, the factor loadings are held
constant across groups. Then, the factor variances and covariances are held constant.
Finally, the residual (unique) variances are held constant.
Viewing the Parameter Subsets
E In the Multiple-Group Analysis dialog box, click Measurement weights.
The measurement weights are now displayed in color in the drawing area. If there is a
check mark next to
Alternative to color on the Accessibility tab of the Interface Properties
dialog box, the measurement weights will also display as thick lines, as shown here:
E Click Structural covariances to see the factor variances and covariances emphasized.
E Click Measurement residuals to see the error variables emphasized.
This is an easy way to visualize which parameters are affected by each cross-group
constraint.
