Përmbledhja	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.	Measurement invariance testing is a sequence of nested confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models that examines whether a psychological scale measures the same latent construct in the same way across distinct groups or time points. Systematized and popularized by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), the procedure tests a hierarchy of constraints — from identical factor patterns to identical item intercepts — so that researchers can justify meaningful group comparisons on latent means.
