Goodness of Fit Statistics for the One-Factor Model of the CES-D 10 and Tests of Factorial Invariance across Hispanic/Latino Background Group
| Model | S-Bχ2 | Df | P | CFI | RMSEA | Model Comparison | ΔCFI | Δ RMSEA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1. Configural | 1467.557 | 204 | <.001 | .985 | .049 | -- | -- | -- |
| M2. Metric | 1303.701 | 249 | <.001 | .987 | .041 | M2-M1 | .002 | −.008 |
| M3. Scalar | 2974.421 | 394 | <.001 | .969 | .050 | M3-M2 | −.018 | −.009 |
| M3a. Scalar (modified) | 2312.386 | 385 | < .001 | .977 | .044 | M3a–M2 | −.010 | −.008 |
Note. CFI = Comparative Fit Index; RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Approximation. M3 = Partially invariant scalar model (no modifications). M3a = Partially invariant scalar model (Item 5 [free thresholds 1 and 2], item 8 [free thresholds 1 and 2], item 2 [free threshold 1], and item 7 [free threshold 3]) in the Mexican and Cuban background group).
