This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of Grief Impairment Scale (GIS) using a network model. A total 1048 individuals from Peru and El Salvador participated. model was used determine internal structure, reliability, cross-country invariance.

Reliability estimated by structural consistency, it found when replicating within an empirical dimension, consistently obtained,...
Aims Over the past 2 years, vaccine conspiracy beliefs construct has been used in a number of different studies. These publications have assessed determinants and outcomes using, some cases, pooled data from countries, compared results across these contexts. However, studies often do not consider measurement invariance as necessary requirement for comparative analyses. Therefore, aim this study was to develop evaluate cross-cultural MI COVID-19 Vaccine Conspiracy Beliefs Scale (COVID-VCBS)...
