在墨西哥裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人的家庭中，研究了评估父母和儿童对其邻居质量的看法的分量表的因子和结构等效性。所有分量表（危险的人在附近，在附近的安全感，物理环境的质量）表现出足够的部分阶乘不变性在英语和西班牙语的墨西哥裔美国人和欧洲和欧洲裔美国人的家庭。儿童对危险人物在附近的报告是最接近实现严格的阶乘不变性，唯一的四个维度，以实现在墨西哥裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人家庭的有效性分析不变性。使用这些自我报告的邻里质量的措施在多个文化或语言群体的研究的影响进行了讨论。(C)2008 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
The factorial and construct equivalence of subscales assessing parents' and children's perceptions of the quality of their neighborhood was examined in Mexican American and European American families. All subscales (dangerous people in the neighborhood, sense of safety in the neighborhood, quality of the physical environment) demonstrated adequate partial factorial invariance across English- and Spanish-speaking Mexican American and European and European American families. Reports by children about dangerous people in the neighborhood was the closest to achieving strict factorial invariance, and the only one of the four dimensions to achieve invariance in the validity analyses across Mexican American and European American families. The implications of using these self-report neighborhood quality measures in studies of multiple cultural or language groups are discusses. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
