Përmbledhja	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.	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.
