CIFA国际货代考试英语卷测量等价性检验

Testing Measurement Invariance Cross Gender and Region of CIFA English Test

使用AMOS多组验证性因子分析模型(multi-group confirmatory factor analysis model,MG-CFA)对中国国际货代协会(China International Forwarding Association,以下简称CIFA)英语卷男、女和不同区域(沿海地区与其它地区)群组考生进行了测量等价性检验,结果表明CIFA英语卷具有跨性别、区域测量严等价性,具有较好的跨组效度。该研究为CIFA国际货代英语考试提供了效度依据,并为同类研究提供了参考。

The Measurement Invariance（MI） of CIFA （China International Forwarding Association） English Test is tested cross gender and regions using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis model（MG-CFA）. The results show that CIFA English test has strict MI （i.e., configural invariance, metric invariance, scalar invariance, and error variance invariance） cross gender and regions. The study provides cross-group validity evidence for CIFA English test and a pilot example for the similar studies in English testing.
