On the Misuse of Manifest Variables in the Detection of Measurement Bias.
Meredith, William; Millsap, Roger E.
Psychometrika, v57 n2 p289-311 Jun 1992
A unified treatment is presented for conditions that should allow detection of measurement bias using statistical procedures involving only observed or manifest variables. Computational results demonstrate that methods for studying bias that rely exclusively on manifest variables are not generally diagnostic of the presence or absence of measurement bias. (SLD)
