measuring invariance in a multi group model before moderator

[Alexander Kapeller]

in sem measuring invariance in multi group models is commen before testing moderator effects

what about pls. if the effect of the normative construct called (a), resulting from indictor 1 to 3, is influenced by moderator (m) and this is modelled by using the product moderator approach as suggested on

release.php (refers to the article of chin et al.)

is there any need to run tests of invariance in (a)?

thanks for help

Hi,

the invariance is a matter of multi group comparation, not of moderator.

To test invariance in PLS
see the suggestion in viewtopic.php?t=380

and procedure in viewtopic.php?p=1425&highlight=#1425

Best regards
