Annotation	Using data from the European Social Survey Cross-national Online Survey panel (2017) administered in Estonia, Slovenia, and Great Britain, we examine the exact and approximate measurement invariance of intensive parenting norms across these country contexts as well as across gender, education, and parental status. We apply multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and alignment optimization. Due to a poor fit of the previously suggested four-factor model of intensive parenting norms, a revised two-factor model with stimulation and child-centred dimensions was proposed. The two-factor model attained scalar invariance between educational groups and between parents of children aged under 12 years and others, however, only metric invariance was achieved among countries, gender, and parental status. The alignment optimization results suggest that the reduced scale is approximately invariant across all examined groups. This study highlights that the MI of parenting norms should not just be assumed but tested.
