Fit Indices for Individual Factor Models for Men and Women using Confirmatory Factor Analysis
| Construct | Gender | Chi-square | RMSEA | CFI | SRMR | Number of items |
Alpha |
| Relationship satisfaction | Men | χ2(5) = 7.17, p = .21 | .054 [.00 – .14] | .98 | .03 | 5 | .78 |
| Relationship satisfaction | Women | χ2(2) = .50, p = .77 | .00 [.00 – .11] | 1.00 | .01 | 4 | .71 |
| Arguing | Men | χ2(5) = 7.09, p = .21 | .053 [.00 – .13] | .99 | .03 | 5 | .77 |
| Arguing | Women | χ2(9) = 8.78, p = .46 | .00 [.00 – .09] | 1.00 | .04 | 6 | .75 |
| Open communication | Men | -- | -- | -- | -- | 3 | .69 |
| Open communication | Women | -- | -- | -- | -- | 3 | .84 |
Note. Open communication constructs do not have fit indices because these models have 3 indicators only, making them “just identified.”
