Sun, Jun
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v37 n4 p240 Jan 2005
In this article, the author identifies 3 main purposes of conducting confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and their different requirements on goodness-of-fit assessment. For a better understanding of fit indices, he proposes a hierarchical classification scheme based on J. S. Tanaka's (1993) multifaceted conceptions and discusses how to assess goodness of fit for different purposes in CFA.
