요약	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 measurement invariance testing examines whether a latent construct is measured in the same way across two or more distinct groups — such as cultures, genders, or age cohorts. It is a prerequisite for meaningful group comparisons of latent means or relationships, ensuring that observed score differences reflect true differences rather than measurement artifacts.
