Resumen	Multi-group generalizability theory (MG G-theory) extends classical generalizability theory to estimate and compare variance components — attributable to persons, items, raters, occasions, and their interactions — simultaneously across two or more defined groups. It reveals whether a measurement procedure is equally reliable and generalizable for every group studied, supporting fair and equitable score interpretation.	Multi-group Cronbach's alpha estimates and compares the internal consistency reliability of a scale separately within each of two or more defined subgroups. It is used in cross-cultural, demographic, and comparative psychometric research to establish that a scale measures its construct with equivalent precision across groups before making cross-group comparisons.
