“…La relevancia de las cargas secundarias se evaluó con el índice de simplicidad factorial (ISF; Fleming & Merino, 2005), donde valores > .70 representan una simplicidad aceptable, es decir que el ítem recibe influencia significativa predominantemente de un factor. La equivalencia del modelo unidimensional entre las muestras de calibración y de replicación fue comprobada mediante un análisis de invarianza de medición (Pendergast, Embse, Kilgus, & Eklund, 2017): invarianza configural, métrica y fuerte. Es necesario mencionar que no se evaluó la igualdad entre residuales (invarianza estricta) porque no es el objetivo del presente estudio (Byrne, 2008).…”

“…Then, four levels of equivalence, including configural, weak/metric factorial, strong/scalar factorial, and strict/uniqueness factorial invariance, were tested individually (Meredith, 1993). |DCFI| < 0.010 and |DRMSEA| < 0.015 were adopted as evaluation criteria (Pendergast, von der Embse, Kilgus & Eklund, 2017).…”

This study examined the validity of a 14‐item two‐factor person–environment fit scale for creativity (PEFSC) to measure the personal and environmental components of creativity. A sample of 2,475 participants completed the PEFSC for evaluating the factor structure. For convergent, discriminant, and incremental validities, a subsample (N = 362) completed the creative self‐efficacy scale, support for innovation subscale of the team climate inventory, and innovative behavior measure. Results indicated the two‐factor correlated model showed a better goodness of fit than the one‐factor model. Measurement invariance of PEFSC was observed across different genders and educational groups. Internal consistency reliabilities were satisfactory (α ≥ .87). The personal dimension indicated stronger associations with creative self‐efficacy than with support for innovation, whereas the environmental dimension was related more closely to support for innovation than to creative self‐efficacy. Incremental validity was confirmed by significant and additional explanations from PEFSC in predicting innovative behavior. These results consolidated the application of person–environment fit theoretical framework in creativity research.

“…The HOME has been used in medical and epidemiological studies worldwide (e.g., Bradley, Mundfrom, Whiteside, Casey, & Barrett (1994) ; Bradley, Whiteside et al (1994) ; Bradley et al, 1996 , Walkowiak et al, 2001 , Williams et al, 2003 , Black et al, 2004 ), but studies of the psychometric properties of the HOME across cultures are limited. Measures do not always operate similarly across cultures, and it is necessary to examine whether the constructs and items function in a similar fashion across sites (e.g., measurement equivalence/invariance; Pendergast, von der Embse, Kilgus, & Eklund, 2017 ). To that end, the version of the HOME adapted by Black et al (2004) was administered and the psychometric properties examined as part a larger multinational study examining several factors related to child development across each of eight sites: Dhaka, Bangladesh; Vellore, India; Bhakatapur, Nepal; Naushahro Feroze, Pakistan; Fortaleza, Brazil; Loreto, Peru; Venda, South Africa; Haydom, Tanzania.…”

“…Measurement equivalence/invariance refers to the extent to which an assessment tool measures the intended construct in a similar way across groups ( Drasgow, 1984 , Pendergast et al, 2017 ). Moreover, Pendergast and colleagues identified a number of instances when ME/I is important to understanding how tests and measures are used across different populations, such as evaluating test bias or differences in item functioning across cultural groups.…”

The home environment provides the context for much of a child's early development. Examples of important aspects of the home environment include safety, cleanliness, and opportunities for cognitive stimulation. This study sought to examine the psychometric properties of an adapted form of the Home Observation for the Measurement of the Environment (HOME; Caldwell & Bradley, 1984, 2003) across the eight international sites of the MAL-ED project (Dhaka, Bangladesh; Vellore, India; Bhakatapur, Nepal; Naushahro Feroze, Pakistan; Fortaleza, Brazil; Loreto, Peru; Venda, South Africa; Haydom, Tanzania), to identify a factor structure that fit the data at all sites, and to derive a subset of items that could be used to examine home environmental characteristics across sites. A three-factor structure (i.e., Emotional and Verbal Responsivity; Clean and Safe Environment; Child Cleanliness) was identified, and partial measurement equivalence/invariance across sites was supported. Overall, these findings lend support for the use of portions of this abbreviated and adapted version of the HOME for use among heterogeneous, cross-cultural groups in low- and middle-income nations.
