First, we ran the hypothesized model (χ2 = 133.01, df = 108, p =.05, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] =.09,
confirmatory fit index [CFI] =.91, Tucker — Lewis Index [TLI] =.91) and determined whether all predicted paths were significant.

Fit indices of the
confirmatory factor analysis (original 2 - factor model) and exploratory factor analysis based on the RPQ
Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that while the hypothesized three - factor model
fit significantly better than an alternative one - factor model, the
fit indices associated with the three - factor model were below satisfactory cutoffs, thus tempering conclusions that the best
fitting structure was found and highlighting the need for additional research.
In Study 2, the three - factor structure proposed by authors was tested in a sample of 417 adolescents (270 girls and 147 boys) using
confirmatory analysis, and
indexes showed a suboptimal
fit.

confirmatory factor analysis showed mixed support for a three - factor model.
Confirmatory factor analyses revealed adequate to good
fit indices for all three models, although the unitary factor model provided the most parsimonious summary of the data.
Fit indices obtained through Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the six - factor structure of the DERS fit the data adequately and that most items loaded strongly on their respective latent fact
