  text: "Several methods are available to answer questions regarding similarity and
    accuracy,\r\neach of which has specific properties and limitations. This study
    focuses on the\r\nLatent Congruence Model (LCM; Cheung, 2009), because of its
    capacity to deal\r\nwith cross-informant measurement invariance issues. Until
    now, no cross-national\r\napplications of LCM are present in the literature, perhaps
    because of the difficulty\r\nto deal with both cross-national and cross-informant
    measurement issues implied by\r\nthose models. This study presents a step-by-step
    procedure to apply LCM to dyadic\r\ncross-national research designs controlling
    for both cross-national and cross-informant\r\nmeasurement invariance. An illustrative
    example on parent–child support exchanges in\r\nItaly and Germany is provided.
    Findings help to show the different possible scenarios\r\nof partial invariance,
    and a discussion related to how to deal with those scenarios is\r\nprovided. Future
    perspectives in the study of parent–child similarity and accuracy in\r\ncross-national
    research will be discussed."
