fit index (CFI) and the incremental
fit index (IFI) were measured, and values equal to or higher than 0.9
for these
indices indicate an acceptable
fit to the model.

fit indices were satisfying
for this model (CMIN = 2.896, CMIN / DF = 1.448, p = 0.235, IFI = 0.998, CFI = 0.998, RMSEA = 0.023).
In this respect, they distinguish, among others, absolute

Goodness - of -
fit indices for the six - factor model with 14 items indicate a well - adjusted
fit to the data (χ2 / df = 1.427, RMSEA = 0.019, SRMR = 0.021, CFI = 0.992, AGFI = 0.982) which confirms study 1's findings.
Fit indices used to evaluate the model included a χ2 goodness - of - fit test (nonsignificant values indicate good fits), the comparative fit index (scores of > 0.95 indicate better fits), the root mean square error of approximation (values of < 0.05 indicate good fits), and the standardized root mean square residual (values of < 0.08 indicate good fits).43, 44 Missing values were imputed through multiple imputation by using functions in the missing data library in S - Plus (Insightful Corp, Seattle, WA).45, 46 The combined data for the cross - lagged / survival model converged more quickly with 15 imputed data sets than did the model that used a likelihood - based approach to missing da

indices were used to evaluate different aspects of model
fit (ie, absolute
fit,

Modification
indices for covariances among measurement errors suggested that allowing the items «run one or more red lights» and «speed through a yellow light» to correlate would substantially improve the model

fit indices indicate that the model displayed an adequate
fit for the sample (Bentler, 1990).
Fit indices for model D were poor but were acceptable
for models B and C. Model C was preferred, due to its parsimony.
