Social work researchers often conduct research with groups that are
diverse in terms of gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnic
background, or age. Consequently, social work researchers must take
great care to establish research-design equivalence at all phases
of the research process (e.g., problem formulation, research
design, sampling, measurement selection, data collection, and data
analysis); otherwise, the results might reflect methodological
flaws rather than true group differences and therefore lead to
erroneous conclusions. This book introduces the methodological
precautions that must be taken into consideration when conducting
research with diverse groups. Multigroup Confirmatory Analysis
(MG-CFA) using structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to
demonstrate how to assess seven types of measurement and structural
equivalence that Milfont and Fischer (2010) have deemed important
for studies with diverse samples. A hypothetical example was
provided to illustrate how to design a study with good
research-design equivalence. A case example was provided to
demonstrate how to conduct an MG-CFA for each type of measurement
and structural equivalence discussed. The Mplus syntax used to
conduct the MG-CFA was provided. The results from the MG-CFA
analyses were written up as they would be for publication.
