Sammendrag	Multi-group reliability analysis estimates internal consistency or stability coefficients separately within each group and then formally compares them to determine whether a scale functions with equal precision across populations. It is a foundational step in cross-group measurement research, typically carried out alongside or prior to measurement invariance testing.	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.
