| Abstract Text | The measurement of values using the 21-items Portrait Value Questionnaire is included in the European Social Survey (ESS). These data cover population samples of European countries and offer a unique opportunity to compare value priorities across countries. A necessary precondition for meaningful comparisons is the establishment of measurement invariance (MI). Unfortunately, previous studies could not establish MI of values across ESS countries. Studies which tested for MI used exact invariance approach which is demanding. However, recent literature suggests using a more liberal approximate approach. In the current study we applied this new method that uses a Bayesian framework. We tested for the approximate MI properties of values across 15 countries participating in six ESS rounds (total N = 274,447). It turned out that approximate MI was given in almost all ESS rounds for self-enhancement (8 countries), self-transcendence (12 countries), and conservation (10 countries). |
