| Abstract: | Restricted factor analysis can be used to investigate measurement bias. A prerequisite for the detection of measurement bias
through factor analysis is the correct specification of the measurement model. We applied restricted factor analysis to two
subtests of a Dutch cognitive ability test. These two examples serve to illustrate the relationship between multidimensionality
and measurement bias. We conclude that measurement bias implies multidimensionality, whereas multidimensionality shows up
as measurement bias only if multidimensionality is not properly accounted for in the measurement model. |
