Resumo	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.	Generalizability Theory is a psychometric framework that decomposes observed score variance into multiple sources — persons, items, raters, occasions, and their interactions — using analysis of variance. It replaces the single reliability coefficient of classical test theory with a family of coefficients that tell researchers how well scores generalize across different measurement conditions.
