Table 4.
Fit statistics from CFA of WDEQ items (n = 718)
| Model | Chi sq | df | p | RMSEA | CFI | TLI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single factor solution original 33 items | 9332.79 | 495 | <.001 | .16 | .69 | .67 |
| Four factors 27 items | 2938.47 | 318 | <.001 | .11 | .90 | .89 |
| Four factors 27 items correlated errors a: 5/4, 27/25, 14/13, 14/18 | 2220.83 | 314 | <.001 | .09 | .93 | .92 |
RMSEA root mean square of approximation (values < .05 indicate close fit, values between .05 and .08 indicate reasonable fit and values above .10 indicate poor fit, [44])
CFI comparative fit index (values above .95 are desirable, [45])
TLI tucker-lewis index (values above .95 are desirable, [45])
aTo improve model fit the error terms between these pairs of items were allowed to correlate, reflecting similarity in item content
