Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Configural and metric invariance across T1 and T2 were supported for nearly all constructs, with one exception for metric invariance in the German self-concept. → Boosting Students' Academic Self-Concepts 2024
q2 i? Scalar invariance could only partly be supported for the German self-concept and the dimensional comparison-related belief, and could not be achieved for the temporal comparison-related belief in German. → Boosting Students' Academic Self-Concepts 2024

Longitudinal measurement invariance tests (configural, metric, scalar) across T1 and T2 for five constructs with all participants (N = 857), using ∆RMSEA ≤ .015 and ∆CFI ≥ –.01 criteria. Scalar invariance for the temporal comparison-related belief in German "could not be achieved (∆RMSEA = .024, ∆CFI = –.015)".
"Overall, the results indicated that configural and metric invariance were supported across nearly all constructs (∆RMSEA ≤ .015, ∆CFI ≤ –.007), with one exception for the metric invariance in the German self-concept (∆RMSEA = .010, ∆CFI = –.011)."
