本文的目的是说明使用Amos Graphics测试多组不变性所涉及的步骤。基于协方差分析（ANCOV）结构，演示了2个应用程序，每个应用程序代表一组不同的情况。应用程序1侧重于测量工具的等效性，并测试其在3个教师小组中的不变性，给定各组之间相同的基线模型。应用2的重点是根据不同群体的基线模型，假设的理论结构在青春期男孩和女孩之间的等效性。综上所述，这些例证应该对使用Amos程序测试多群不变性感兴趣的研究人员有很大的帮助。
The purpose of this article is to illustrate the steps involved in testing for multigroup invariance using Amos Graphics. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOV) structures, 2 applications are demonstrated, each of which represents a different set of circumstances. Application I focuses on the equivalence of a measuring instrument and tests for its invariance across 3 teacher panels, given baseline models that are identical across groups. Application 2 centers on the equivalence of a postulated theoretical structure across adolescent boys and girls in light of baseline models that are differentially specified across groups. Taken together, these illustrated examples should be of substantial assistance to researchers interested in testing for multigroup invariance, using the Amos program.
