Notes.
- χ2(df)
- chi-square (degrees of freedom)
- CFI
- comparative fit index
- TLI
- Tucker Lewis fit index
- SRMR
- standardized root mean square residual
- RMSEA
- root mean square error of approximation
Confirmatory factor analysis fit indexes are satisfactory for both measures across subsamples, gender, and age.
