چکیده

Web surveys have become a very important way of empirical research. The rise of social media provides a new platform for web surveys. Investigators can collect data based on different social media platforms to get more respondents of higher external validity at a lower cost.

The result shows that three surveys have the same basic structure, factor loading matrix and factor covariance matrix; moreover, the intercepts are equivalent across micro blog and SNS.
