This article evaluates the measurement equivalence of a self-report of offending measure among female and male juveniles, as well as Hispanic, African American, and White male juveniles. The findings indicate (a) considerable functional equivalence across gender and ethnically/racially diverse groups of juvenile offenders, and (b) scalar equivalence across Hispanic and White male juvenile offenders, but (c) that researchers should be careful making either mean difference or association comparisons across genders or African American/White boys.
本文评估了青少年犯罪自我报告量表在男女青少年以及西班牙裔、非裔美国人和白人男性青少年中的测量等效性。研究结果表明:(a)在不同性别和种族/民族的青少年犯罪群体中存在相当程度的功能等效性;(b)在西班牙裔和白人男性青少年犯罪者中存在标量等效性;但(c)研究人员在对不同性别或非裔美国/白人男孩进行均值差异或关联性比较时应谨慎。
