本文应用多组验证性因素分析（MGCFA）的测量不变性检验程序。它通过调查肖像价值问卷的因子结构和不变性来说明这些程序（PVQ，Schwartz等人：J·克罗斯邪教32（5），519-542（2001））。PVQ衡量了Schwartz提出的10个基本价值观，以全面描述所有社会中公认的人类价值观（成就，享乐主义，自我指导，仁慈，顺从，安全，激励，权力，传统和普遍主义）。我们还估计和比较了三个教育群体的潜在手段。分析显示10个值和参数中的大多数具有部分不变性。正如预期的那样，潜在的手段表明，受教育程度较低的受访者更重视安全，传统和一致的价值观。
This article applies the testing procedures for measurement invariance using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA). It illustrates these procedures by investigating the factorial structure and invariance of the Portraits Value Questionnaire (PVQ, Schwartz et al.: J. Cross Cult. Psychol. 32(5), 519-542 (2001)) across three education groups in a population sample (N = 1,677). The PVQ measures 10 basic values that Schwartz postulates to comprehensively describe the human values recognized in all societies (achievement, hedonism, self-direction, benevolence, conformity, security, stimulation, power, tradition and universalism). We also estimate and compare the latent means of the three education groups. The analyses show partial invariance for most of the 10 values and parameters. As expected, the latent means show that less educated respondents attribute more importance to security, tradition, and conformity values.
