Njål Foldnes; Jonas Moss; Steffen Grønneberg – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2025
We propose new ways of robustifying goodness-of-fit tests for structural equation modeling under non-normality. These test statistics have limit distributions characterized by eigenvalues whose estimates are highly unstable and biased in known directions. To take this into account, we design model-based trend predictions to approximate the…

Suppanut Sriutaisuk; Yu Liu; Seungwon Chung; Hanjoe Kim; Fei Gu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2025
The multiple imputation two-stage (MI2S) approach holds promise for evaluating the model fit of structural equation models for ordinal variables with multiply imputed data. However, previous studies only examined the performance of MI2S-based residual-based test statistics. This study extends previous research by examining the performance of two…

Sergio Dominguez-Lara; Mario A. Trógolo; Rodrigo Moreta-Herrera; Diego Vaca-Quintana; Manuel Fernández-Arata; Ana Paredes-Proaño – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
Academic engagement plays a crucial role in students' learning and performance. One of the most popular measures for assessing this construct is the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S), which is based on a tridimensional conceptualization consisting of dedication, vigor, and absorption. However, prior research on its factor…

Bang Quan Zheng; Peter M. Bentler – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2025
This paper aims to advocate for a balanced approach to model fit evaluation in structural equation modeling (SEM). The ongoing debate surrounding chi-square test statistics and fit indices has been characterized by ambiguity and controversy. Despite the acknowledged limitations of relying solely on the chi-square test, its careful application can…
