Citations in the corpus
- Determinants of classroom engagement: a prospective test based on self-determination theory (2018, neutral): “values and RMSEA are high, which is expected due to the sample size and the simplicity of the model (Kenny et al., 2015).”
- Self-determination and STEM education: Effects of autonomy, motivation, and self-regulated learning on high school math achievement (2015, background): “In summary, χ2 values and RMSEA are high, which is expected due to the large sample size and the simplicity of the model (Kenny et al., 2014) but CFI and TLI values indicate the scale is adequate.”
- Measurement Invariance Conventions and Reporting: The State of the Art and Future Directions for Psychological Research (2016, methodology): “Using simulated data, Kenny, Kaniskan, and McCoach (2015) also found that the RMSEA is overly sensitive in models with few (e.g., 10) degrees of freedom.”
- Assessing Fit in Ordinal Factor Analysis Models: SRMR vs. RMSEA (2020, methodology): “A number of simulation studies has examined the performance of point estimates, confidence intervals and tests of close fit using the RMSEA (Curran, Bollen, Chen, Paxton, & Kirby, 2003; Fan, Thompson, & Wang, 1999; Hu & Bentler, 1998; Kenny et al., 2015; Kenny & McCoach, 2003; Nasser & Wisenbaker, 2”
- Why resilient workers perform better: The roles of job satisfaction and work engagement (2018, positive): “The CFA indicated good fit of the model (Hu & Bentler, 1999); the RMSEA should be interpreted care-fully, as mentioned above (Kenny et al., 2015).”
