The Effect of Cross-loading on Measurement Equivalence of Psychometric Multidimensional Questionnaires in MIMIC Model: a Simulation Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIn recent years, Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model has been widely used to assess measurement in variance, called Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analyses, in psychological and medical studies.
aimThis simulation study aimed at assessing the effect of sample size, scale length, and magnitude of the uniform-DIF on detecting uniform-DIF with the MIMIC model when it has cross-loading in multidimensional scales. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this Monte Carlo simulation study, we calculated power, Type I error rates, the bias of parameters estimation, Coverage Probability (CP), and Convergence Rate (CR) was used to assess the performance of the MIMIC model. The means of RMSEA, SRMR, CFI, and TLI, as indices of the goodness-of-fit for the MIMIC model, were computed across 1000 replications for each simulation condition.
resultApproximately, in all scenarios simulated, the bias of DIF parameters estimation was negligible. The existence of cross-loading caused a decrease of approximately 11.8% in the power and increase of 0.04-unit in bias parameter estimation. By increasing the relationship between dimensions, the power and CP of MIMIC model decreased, however, bias and CR were increased. In all scenarios that were performed in this study, all goodness-of-fit indices were at an acceptable level.
conclusionOur results indicated that the performance of the MIMIC model improved, when sample size, the number of items, and the magnitude of DIF increased. When the scale is multidimensional and model have cross-loading, the performance of the MIMIC model becomes questionable.
