Using multilevel latent class analysis, we examined momentary careless responding and individual differences therein 233 individuals with chronic pain and 168 without, over a 14-day AA phase with five daily assessments. We tested whether the groups differed in the type, extent, and predictors of careless responding. Across both groups, three Level 1 profiles emerged: careful responding, fast and invariable responding, and inconsistent responding. At Level 2, we identified four respondent classes: careful, infrequently careless, and two frequently careless types. Multigroup multilevel latent class analysis indicated partial measurement invariance at Level 1, reflecting group-specific shifts in three indicator means, while the substantive interpretation of profiles remained stable. Full measurement invariance at Level 2 showed that individuals with and without chronic pain did not differ in the type or overall likelihood of careless responding. Additionally, higher stress and poorer sleep were associated with membership in the frequently careless classes.

However, few studies have examined whether the BSI functions equivalently across groups to allow for interpretable comparisons among individuals who use substances. The present study evaluated measurement invariance of the full 53-item BSI and the BSI-18 across race, sex, and time among individuals with cocaine use disorder. Data from seven clinical trials evaluating behavioral and/or pharmacological treatments for cocaine use were combined, providing a total sample of 629 participants with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, cocaine abuse/dependence (42.0% Black, 58.0% White; 38.3% female, 61.5% male; Mage = 39.74 years, SD = 9.49). Factor analyses supported an eight-factor model for the BSI and a three-factor model for the BSI-18, largely consistent with recommended scoring guidelines. We did not find support for measurement invariance of either the full BSI or the BSI-18 across race, sex, or time. After model trimming, we were able to identify models for which invariance testing could be conducted. We found evidence for weak factorial invariance of versions of the BSI and BSI-18 by race and versions of the BSI by sex, and strict factorial invariance of versions of the BSI by time and versions of the BSI-18 by sex and time. Findings suggest that caution is warranted when making comparisons across race, sex, or time using the full BSI or BSI-18 among individuals seeking treatment for cocaine use.

The sample consisted of 2,848 children and adolescents (<i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 11.74; <i>SD</i><sub>age</sub> = 3.5; 57.1% male) with a wide range of mental disorders, who had been referred to a university outpatient clinic for assessment and treatment. Confirmatory factor analyses and exploratory structural equation modeling were employed to test one-dimensional, correlated first-, second-, and third-order models and a fully symmetrical bifactor model. Additionally, the retained models were analyzed for measurement invariance across age and gender. Models that allow cross-loadings were superior. As expected, symptoms seem to be attributed to more than one dimension. The eight-factor exploratory structural equation modeling model provided a better factor structure than the more complex models such as the bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling model, showing consistent factor structure and loading patterns across age and gender. A higher order structure of internalizing and externalizing dimensions was demonstrated. In our clinical sample, parent-reported juvenile psychopathology seems to be better represented by several latent variables than by only one general factor of psychopathology.

A series of increasingly constrained multigroup measurement models were fit using structural equation modeling to assess for measurement invariance. Results suggest scores derived from the entry questions of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview Screening Scale for a major depressive episode can be interpreted comparably for hypothesis testing when samples include both U.S.-born and foreign-born service members. In contrast, response patterns to two entry screening items from the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale suggested nonequivalence in how scores were interpreted across groups; post hoc logistic regressions were conducted to further probe the nature of variance. Scores on items regarding passive ideation and suicidal behavior varied by sex, age, race/ethnicity, and English proficiency between U.S.- and foreign-born groups. Findings indicate caution is warranted when using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale entry items when utilizing samples that include U.S.- and foreign-born service members and highlight the importance of attending to the intersectionality of factors such as nation of origin, sex, age, race/ethnicity, and English proficiency when screening for suicidal ideation and behavior.
