Abstract

Given the prevalent use of short-form measures of the Dark Triad (DT) personality traits, much research attention has been devoted to examining the extent of psychometric equivalence of these scales across groups using measurement invariance (MI) analysis. However, an important limitation of MI analysis is that it provides limited information regarding the practical implications of non-invariance for group comparisons. The current study addressed this issue by supplementing MI analysis with additional assessments of practical significance of non-invariance. Specifically, in addition to examining gender invariance across two samples who completed the Dirty Dozen (DD) and the Short Dark Triad (SD3), we calculated effect size measures of measurement non-invariance that indicate the magnitude of non-invariance and the extent to which the observed mean gender differences are attributed to measurement non-invariance vs. true gender mean differences. The results provided support for the inference that observed mean gender differences on the DD and SD3 are largely construct-driven. Nonetheless, a few items on the Machiavellianism (SD3) and psychopathy (DD and SD3) scales showed gender non-invariance that reached the benchmark for medium effect. The results illustrate the advantage of supplementing MI analysis with standardized effect size indices that inform the practical implications of measurement non-invariance.

不同性别 "黑暗三联征 "短式测量的测量不变性
鉴于对 "黑暗三联征"(Dark Triad,DT)人格特质的短式测量方法的普遍使用,很多研究都致力于使用测量不变量(MI)分析来检验这些量表在不同群体间的心理测量等效程度。然而,测量不变量分析的一个重要局限是,它只能提供有限的信息,说明不变量对群体比较的实际影响。为了解决这个问题,本研究在 MI 分析的基础上,增加了对非方差实际意义的评估。具体来说,除了对完成 "肮脏一打"(Dirty Dozen,DD)和 "黑暗短三联征"(Short Dark Triad,SD3)的两个样本进行性别不变性检查外,我们还计算了测量非变异性的效应大小测量值,这些测量值表明了非变异性的程度,以及观察到的性别平均差异在多大程度上归因于测量非变异性而非真正的性别平均差异。研究结果支持这样的推论,即在 DD 和 SD3 中观察到的平均性别差异主要是由建构驱动的。然而,马基雅维利主义(SD3)和心理变态(DD 和 SD3)量表中的少数项目显示出性别非方差性,达到了中等效应的基准。这些结果说明了用标准化的效应大小指数对多元智能分析进行补充的优势,这些效应大小指数可以说明测量非方差的实际影响。

期刊介绍: Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
