Table 2. Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model Fit Statistics.
Model | χ2 | df | p | χ2/df | NFI | CFI | RMSEA |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Note. NFI = normed fit index; CFI = comparative fit index; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation. Dependability was estimated as the single factor underlying ratings on all six characteristics, constraining regression weights, intercepts, structural covariances and residuals equal across the three rater groups: teachers (at age 14 years), and participants and others (at age 77 years). Dependability was modelled both before and after removing IQ from teachers’ ratings. | |||||||
