Zusammenfassung	Short-form item response theory applies IRT calibration and scoring to abbreviated or shortened psychological scales. It uses item information functions to guide which items to retain from a full-length instrument, then estimates latent trait scores from the reduced item set while preserving psychometric rigor and linkage to the full-scale metric.	Measurement invariance testing is a sequence of nested confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models that examines whether a psychological scale measures the same latent construct in the same way across distinct groups or time points. Systematized and popularized by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), the procedure tests a hierarchy of constraints — from identical factor patterns to identical item intercepts — so that researchers can justify meaningful group comparisons on latent means.
