MeasuresFit indexDescriptionModel indexRecommend level [28]Model adaptation judgement

Absolute fit measuresCheck whether the covariance structure of the model is adequately the same as the covariance matrix of the observed data2.349<5Support
GFICheck the overall fit of the model0.952>0.90Support
RMSEACheck the mean value of the covariance residual0.061<0.08Support

Incremental fit measuresCFIExamine whether the model fits the observed data better than the independent model that has no relationships among variables0.943>0.90Support
NFIExplore the improvement of the overall fit of the model to the independent model0.916>0.80Support

Parsimonious fit measuresPGFIExamine the overall parsimony of the model0.72>0.50Support
