The global model fit to the data was tested by Chi - square, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA), Comparative Fit Index (CFI) and
Goodness of Fit Index (GFI).
The findings of CFA were assessed on the basis of several goodness - of - fit statistics such as
goodness of fit index (GFI), comparative fit index (CFI), standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA).
Another criterion of
goodness of fit index (GFI) is employed which determine the discrepancies between the assumed model and the observed covariance matrix.
The most commonly used goodness - of - fit statistics were used in the present study (Byrne, 2016; Laveault & Grégoire, 2014), that is, the chi - square to its degrees of freedom (χ 2 / df; a χ 2 / df close to or less than 2.0 was considered to be indicative of a good model fit, and close to or less than 5.0 as indicative of a satisfying fit); the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA; good fit < 0.05, satisfying fit < 0.08); the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR; good fit < 0.05, satisfying fit < 0.08); the Comparative Fit Index (CFI; good fit ≥ 0.95; satisfying fit ≥ 0.90), and the adjusted
goodness of fit index (AGFI; good fit ≥ 0.95; satisfying fit ≥ 0.90)(Hu & Bentler, 1999).
We analyzed data using the LISREL 8.80 analysis of covariance structure approach to path analysis and maximum likelihood estimates.42 We used four goodness - of - fit statistics to assess the fit of our path model with the data: the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation test (RMSEA), the Norm - fit index (NFI), the adjusted
Goodness of Fit index (GFI) and the mean Root Mean Square Residual (RMR).
All goodness of fit indices suggested an excellent fit between the models and the data (Table I, models five and six).

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
