Factorial invariance of the moral character of Muslim personality scale: confirmatorv factor analvsis of Yemeni and Malaysian teachers

The study armed to assess evidence of measurement equivalence of Moral Character of Muslim Personality (MCMP). Teachers from two targeted countries were called to participate in answering two versions of the instrument: Arabic version of MCMP used to collect data from Yemeni teachers (n=321) and Mal...
