On the Behavior of Fit Indices for Adjudicating between Exploratory Structural Equation and Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Timothy R. Konold; Elizabeth A. Sanders – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
Compared to traditional confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) has been shown to result in less structural parameter bias when cross-loadings (CLs) are present. However, when model fit is reasonable for CFA (over ESEM), CFA should be preferred on the basis of parsimony. Using simulations, the current…

The SEM Reliability Paradox in a Bayesian Framework
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Timothy R. Konold; Elizabeth A. Sanders – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Within the frequentist structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, adjudicating model quality through measures of fit has been an active area of methodological research. Complicating this conversation is research revealing that a higher quality measurement portion of a SEM can result in poorer estimates of overall model fit than lower quality…
