Reliability, Dimensionality, and Model Fit Statistics Obtained From R as the Three-Factor Schmid–Leiman (S-L) Solution, MPLUS One-Factor Solution, and Bifactor Solutions
Statistics | S–L three-group factors | S–L two-group factors | MPLUS (one factor) | MPLUS bifactor (general and two-group factors) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Reliability (alpha coefficient for general factor) | 0.94 | 0.94 | N/A | N/A |
Omega hierarchical (ωh) | 0.76 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Omega total (ωt) | 0.96 | 0.97 | N/A | N/A |
ECV | 0.64 | 0.64 | 0.63 | 0.76 |
RMSEA | 0.04 | 0.05 | 0.03 | 0.01 |
Notes: ECV = explained common variance; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation; N/A = not applicable.
