Examining gender invariance of the Sport-Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale-2 in intercollegiate athletes

The gender invariance results suggest internal structure of the Sport-MPS2 can be confirmed as invariant across gender, and individuals who have the same score on perfectionism would obtain the same score on the instrument independently of their gender. The lack of strict invariance may imply differences in precision that warrant caution in interpretation in certain situations, but support for gender comparisons using the Sport-MPS-2 in this population is largely supported.
