Підсумок	Multi-group test-retest reliability evaluates whether a measure produces stable scores across time separately for two or more defined groups — such as different genders, age cohorts, or clinical populations — and determines whether the degree of that temporal stability is equivalent across those groups.	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.
