Testing Invariance in Risk Taking : A Comparison between Anglophone and Francophone Groups
|
| Abstract |
The authors investigate the measurement invariance of three related constructs across two groups sampled from Anglophone and Francophone adult populations. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses explored the factor structures of the Domain-Specific Risk-Taking (DOSPERT) Scale, the Risk-Taking scale of the Jackson Personality Inventory, and the Sensation-Seeking Scale both within and between the two groups of 172 Anglophone and 187 Francophone participants. The psychometric properties of the original and translated instruments are discussed by the authors, as is the meaningfulness of using these scales in these populations.
