A note on the factorial invariance of the female form of the SVIB

Abstract

THE FACTORIAL STRUCTURE OF AN EARLY AND RECENT FEMALE FORM OF THE SVIB WAS COMPARED. IT WAS FOUND THAT 2 OF THE LARGEST FACTORS ISOLATED IN THE RECENT STUDY WERE HIGHLY SIMILAR TO 2 OF THE 4 FACTORS ISOLATED IN THE EARLIER STUDY. THE REMAINING 2 FACTORS ISOLATED IN THE EARLIER STUDY SHOWED MODERATE SIMILARITY TO 2 ADDITIONAL FACTORS OUT OF THE 9 FACTORS FOUND IN THE RECENT STUDY. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT, IN GENERAL, THE FACTORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE 2 FORMS WAS QUITE SIMILAR. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
