The Relationship Between Root Mean Square Error of Approximation and Model Misspecification in Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models (2012, background): “They showed than even tiny omitted residual covariances will result in a large RMSEA when factor loadings are high enough.3 Finally, Beauducel and Wittmann (2005) studied RMSEA’s dependence on the size of the factor loadings when the misspecification was an omitted cross-loading in an otherwise…”
On the Performance of Maximum Likelihood Versus Means and Variance Adjusted Weighted Least Squares Estimation in CFA (2006, methodology): “Therefore, simple structure CFA models have regularly been used in simulation studies (Beauducel & Wittmann, 2005; Hu & Bentler, 1998, 1999).”
Emotions evoked by the sound of music: characterization, classification, and measurement. (2008, methodology): “…with small deviations from simple structure (such as the current one), the recommendation is to rely on decision rules based on a combination of SRMR and RMSEA because, in contrast to the incremental fit indices, RMSEA does not penalize for model complexity (e.g., Beauducel & Wittmann, 2005).”
Gender effects on entrepreneurial intention: a meta‐analytical structural equation model (2013, methodology): “To evaluate the model, we used the chi-square test, the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), and the comparative fit index (CFI), as they provide non-redundant information about the model’s fit (Beauducel and Wittmann, 2005).”
Understanding, differentiating, and measuring opportunity recognition and opportunity exploitation (2017, methodology): “In the CFA, as suggested in the literature, multiple indices were used to assess fit (Beauducel and Wittmann, 2005).”
Mathematics attitudes and their unique contribution to achievement: Going over and above cognitive ability and personality (2016, unknown): “…in the structural equation modeling literature: (a) Acceptable fit: RMSEA ≤ .08, SRMR ≤ .09, andCFI≈ .90; (b)Goodfit: RMSEA ≤ .05 (or 90%C.I. of the RMSEA including .05), SRMR ≤ .09, and CFI ≥ .95 (e.g., Beauducel & Wittmann, 2005; Browne & Cudeck, 1992; Hu & Bentler, 1999; Marsh, Hau, &Wen, 2004).”
Person–organization fit and employee outcomes: test of a social exchange model (2013, methodology): “We used three-item parcels for measures with more than three items to reduce the number of indicators (André and Werner 2005).”
Phonological Awareness and Rapid Automatized Naming as Longitudinal Predictors of Reading in Five Alphabetic Orthographies with Varying Degrees of Consistency (2018, methodology): “To examine the fit of each model, we used a set of fit indices recommended by Hu and Bentler (1999) and Beauducel and Wittmann (2005), whereupon the comparative fit index (CFI) value should be higher than .95, and the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) and standardized root mean square…”
The structure of goal contents across 15 cultures. (2005, methodology): “…the .90 criteria that is sometimes used for simpler models, the RMSEA and SRMR indices that are more appropriate for complex models such as ours (Beauducel & Wittmann, 2005; Raykov, 1998) provided strong support for the model; that is, both met Hu and Bentler's (1999) decision rules for…”
Openness, fluid intelligence, and crystallized intelligence: Toward an integrative model (2012, background): “Beauducel and Wittmann (2005) warned that the usually suggested value of .”
Work engagement, psychological contract breach and job satisfaction (2014, result): “The results presented in Figure 2 indicate a good overall fit, with CFI and TLI in excess of the critical value of 0.95 suggested by both Hu and Bentler (1999) and Beauducel and Wittmann (2005).”
