Goodness-of-fit indices for the different models

Model χ2 (df) χ2/df CFI AGFI SRMR RMSEA
M1a 4216.39 (517) 8.16 0.737 0.708 0.0802 0.095
M1b 1699.40 (503) 3.40 0.915 0.864 0.0696 0.055
M2a 4276.30 (521) 8.21 0.733 0.707 0.0852 0.095
M2b 1664.67 (508) 3.28 0.918 0.866 0.0659 0.053

Model fitting criteria were as followed: a CFI value of greater than 0.90 showed a psychometrically acceptable fit to the data; the value of AGFI ranged between 0 and 1, a value of 1 indicated a perfect fit; for the SRMR, values of 0.08 or lower represented good fit; the value of RMSEA should be below 0.06 to show good fit.

M1b: the modified first-order factor model; M2a: the second-order factor model; M2b: the modified second-order factor model; M1a: the first-order factor model.

AGFI, adjusted goodness-of-fit index; CFI, comparative fit index; RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation; SRMR, standard root mean square residual.
