Cross-cultural assessment of the measurement invariance of the Leisure Nostalgia Scale
2019
Nostalgia
has recently garnered attention in the field of leisure, and a leisure
nostalgia scale (LNS) has been developed. However, the LNS was initially
developed and validated in one Eastern country, Singapore, and has not been
tested with other populations for its applicability. Therefore, the purpose of
this study was to examine the invariance of the LNS to determine if the
specified factorial structure of the scale is identical across different leisure
populations in the UK and Singapore. The results showed that the LNS presented the same
number of factors from the UK and Singapore data sets and supported the stability
of the LNS factor structure, indicating that it can be confidently applied across
different leisure populations from different countries. Although the LNS was
fairly invariant across the two data sets, the findings revealed three items in socialisation
and three items in personal identity to be non-invariant. The results of this study contribute to expanding
future nostalgia research and a deeper understanding of leisure nostalgia
