Sensitivity Analysis for Latent Construct Mean Differences Under Full Versus Partial Strong Factorial Invariance

Factorial invariance and factor	Estimated latent factor mean for Black women	SE	99% CI	Standardized effect size
Full strong factorial invariance (Model 3a)
Somatization	0.16***	0.02	[0.12, 0.21]	0.45
Depression	0.16***	0.04	[0.07, 0.25]	0.27
Anxiety	0.14***	0.03	[0.06, 0.21]	0.24
Partial strong factorial invariance (Model 3b)
Somatization	0.16***	0.02	[0.12, 0.21]	0.45
Depression	0.16***	0.04	[0.07, 0.25]	0.27
Anxiety	0.23***	0.04	[0.14, 0.32]	0.39

Note. The reference group was White women. The method for computing the standardized effect size was similar to that used in Hancock (2001), using the formula shown in M. S. Thompson and Green (2006) with a pooled estimate of the standard deviation because the factor variances were not constrained to be equal across groups. CI = confidence interval.
