Abstract

Abstract Birding specialization can be measured alongside a continuum from the beginner to the specialist. The structure of birding specialization has three dimensions: (1) skill/knowledge, (2) behavior, and (3) psychological commitment. We tested the factorial structure and factorial invariance of the birding specialization scale in traditional and simplified Chinese, Finnish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish birders. A total of 2,913 (32% women) birdwatchers participated in this study. In all languages, the hierarchical factorial structure with three sub-factors and one general factor was satisfactory. We found support for configural invariance in all languages, metric invariance in some language comparisons, but no support for scalar invariance. Therefore, the construct can be applied in all languages, but comparisons of means should be done with caution. Further translation should try to seek the same configural invariance, but also aim for metric and scalar invariance.

观鸟娱乐专业化——八种语言阶乘不变性的检验

摘要观鸟专业化可以与从初学者到专家的连续性一起衡量。观鸟专业化的结构有三个维度：（1）技能/知识，（2）行为，（3）心理承诺。我们测试了繁体和简体中文、芬兰语、德语、意大利语、波兰语、葡萄牙语和西班牙语观鸟者观鸟专业化量表的析因结构和析因不变性。共有2913名观鸟者（32%为女性）参与了这项研究。在所有语言中，具有三个子因子和一个一般因子的层次因子结构都是令人满意的。我们发现在所有语言中都支持结构不变性，在一些语言比较中支持度量不变性，但不支持标量不变性。因此，该结构可以应用于所有语言，但应谨慎进行手段比较。进一步的翻译应该努力寻求相同的结构不变性，但也要以度量和标量不变性为目标。
