Összefoglaló	Short form measurement invariance testing evaluates whether an abbreviated version of a psychological scale measures the same latent construct equivalently across groups or conditions. It applies the hierarchical multigroup confirmatory factor analysis invariance sequence — configural, metric, scalar, and strict — specifically to short-form instruments, ensuring that brevity does not introduce measurement bias when comparing subgroups.	Short-form confirmatory factor analysis applies CFA to a reduced subset of items drawn from a longer validated scale, testing whether the abbreviated version preserves the original factor structure with acceptable model fit and reliability. It is a standard step in short-form scale development and validation.
