In general,
model fit indexes in confirmatory factor analyses become worse as indicators of latent variables increase (Bandalos, 2002; Coffman & MacCallum, 2005; Gribbons & Hocevar, 1998; Little, Cunningham, Shahar, & Widaman, 2002; Marsh, Hau, Balla, & Grayson, 1998).
Based on the recommendation by Jackson, Gillaspy, & Purc - Ste - phenson (2009), Study 1 evaluated each model with multiple and different types of

Model fit indices from a confirmatory factor analysis showed mixed support for a three - factor model.

In this respect, they distinguish, among others, absolute
fit indices which compare the hypothesized

model complexity (Byrne, 2016).

incremental
fit index (IFI), and the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) were utilized to evaluate the

model.
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

Multiple

model fit (ie, absolute
fit,
fit adjusting for
model parsimony,
fit relative to a null
model).
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 (and it also made sense conceptually that these two items were related).
Results: The global justice
model with autocorrelations had the most satisfactory goodness - of -

All

Overall, the
fit indices indicate that the
model displayed an adequate
fit for the sample (Bentler, 1990).
Another criterion of goodness of
fit index (GFI) is employed which determine the discrepancies between the assumed
model and the observed covariance matrix.
The comparative
fit index (CFI) deals with the difference between observations and hypothesized
model.
The use of diverse
indices allows a more conservative and reliable assessment of the
model fit.
Several
indices of
model fit were inspected, including the chi - square statistic, the chi - square to degrees of freedom ratio, the comparative
fit index (CFI), the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), and the standardised root mean residual (SRMR).

At ages 1.5 and 3 the BIC and the BLRT indicated that five profiles resulted in better
model fit than four profiles (
fit indices are reported in Supplementary Table S1).
To evaluate
model fit, the X2 - test statistic, the comparative
fit index (CFI), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) were used.
In this SEM
model,
fit indices were acceptable -LRB-(16) = 20.62, P = 0.19, CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.05), but no main effects were found between partners» relative autonomous helping motivation and the different ICP outcomes.
First, we ran the hypothesized

Multiple
fit indices are reported to facilitate evaluation of the degree to which our
models fit the sample data.
Finally, a
model (Table 6) with latent and observed variables as shown in Figure 1 emerged with acceptable level of
fit indices.
Additionally, when the comparative
fit index (CFI) and the incremental
fit index (IFI) are greater than.90 the hypothesized
model fits the observed data adequately (Browne & Cudek, 1993).
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the

Although the full and partial mediating role of life satisfaction (
Model 1 and
Model 2) was not supported by the present findings, this is not to say that the mediating role of life satisfaction should be denied — these
models still showed adequate
fit indices, but both
models were slightly poorer when compared with
Model 6.
All goodness of
fit indices suggested an excellent
fit between the
models and the data (Table I,
models five and six).
The
fit of the
model was evaluated in terms of three
fit indices: (a) the chi - square statistic, which compares the observed covariance structure to the covariance structure specified by the
model; (b) the comparative
fit index (CFI), which compares the hypothesized
model to a null
model with no paths or latent variables; and (c) the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), which estimates the degree to which the covariance structure observed in the data deviates from that specified in the
model.
Evaluation of
model fit was based on multiple criteria, including the theoretical meaningfulness of the
model, absolute -
fit indices (how well a
model fits the data, without comparing to a baseline
model), incremental
fit measures (how much better the
model fits than a baseline
model) and
model cross-validation (how the
model can be replicated with an independent sample).
Factor loading and goodness - of -
fit indexes of one - factor
model for the 10 - items CD - RISC factor structure.
For each subscale, when factor loadings were constrained to be equal across time,
fit indices were not reduced compared with the configural
model (
model A, Table 4), demonstrating metric invariance.
Given the fact that the
fit indices were acceptable or near - acceptable and given the fact that they were very similar to the
fit indices obtained for group A, it can be concluded that
model 3 also provided an adequate
fit for group B.
