Abstract
Measurement invariance (MI) is a psychometric property of an instrument indicating the degree to which scores from an instrument are comparable across groups. In recent years, there has been a marked uptick in publications using MI in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) samples. Our goal here is to provide an overview of why MI is important to IDD researchers and to describe some challenges to evaluating it, with an eye towards nudging our subfield into a more thoughtful and measured interpretation of studies using MI.
测量不变性(MI)是一种工具的心理测量属性,表示工具得分在不同群体间的可比程度。近年来,在智力和发育障碍(IDD)样本中使用 MI 的出版物明显增多。我们在此旨在概述多元智能对 IDD 研究人员的重要性,并介绍评估多元智能所面临的一些挑战,以期引导我们的子领域对使用多元智能的研究进行更周到、更有分寸的解释。
