Hello,

I am trying to assess if the loadings on a latent construct are similar for different ethnic groups. I know that this can be done with SEM and invariance tests.

However, I read in a paper (citation 1 below) that estimating an exploratory factor analysis and subsequently estimating Tuckers Phi might be an alternative way to go about this.

This paper seems to suggest the same: Lorenzo-Seva, U., & Ten Berge, J. M. (2006). Tucker's congruence coefficient as a meaningful index of factor similarity. Methodology, 2(2), 57-64.

Does anybody know or have any good resources for me on how to implement this in stata?

grateful for any tipps!

Cheers,

Evelyn
