  abstract     = {{Several methods are available to answer questions regarding similarity and accuracy,
each of which has specific properties and limitations. This study focuses on the
Latent Congruence Model (LCM; Cheung, 2009), because of its capacity to deal
with cross-informant measurement invariance issues. Until now, no cross-national
applications of LCM are present in the literature, perhaps because of the difficulty
to deal with both cross-national and cross-informant measurement issues implied by
those models. This study presents a step-by-step procedure to apply LCM to dyadic
cross-national research designs controlling for both cross-national and cross-informant
measurement invariance. An illustrative example on parent–child support exchanges in
Italy and Germany is provided. Findings help to show the different possible scenarios
of partial invariance, and a discussion related to how to deal with those scenarios is
provided. Future perspectives in the study of parent–child similarity and accuracy in
cross-national research will be discussed.}},
