• Commentary on Coefficient Alpha: A Cautionary Tale (2009, methodology): “The bifactor model ( Chen, West, & Sousa, 2006; Rindskopf & Rose, 1988; Schmid & Leiman, 1957; Yung, Thissen, & McLeod, 1999) includes not only a general factor, F , but also K group factor(s), Fk:”
• Verbal fluency and creativity: General and specific contributions of broad retrieval ability (Gr) factors to divergent thinking (2013, background): “In a bifactormodel, the general Gr factor and specific factors each predict the indicators (Chen et al., 2006, 2012; Reise, 2012).”
• The Rediscovery of Bifactor Measurement Models (2012, background): “This topic was covered extensively in F. F. Chen et al. (2006) and will not be reviewed here.”
• A Tutorial on Interpreting Bifactor Model Scores (2013, background): “As discussed by Chen, West, and Sousa (2006), using the bifactor model shows the unique contribution of each of the specific factors “over and above” the general factor.”
• Higher-order models versus direct hierarchical models: g as superordinate or breadth factor? (2008, methodology): “Data analytic strategy The first stage of the analyses consisted of testing and evaluating the model-fit associated with the higher-order models endorsed by Colom et al. (2004), Gustafsson (1984) and Gustafsson (2001).”
• Are Fit Indices Biased in Favor of Bi-Factor Models in Cognitive Ability Research?: A Comparison of Fit in Correlated Factors, Higher-Order, and Bi-Factor Models via Monte Carlo Simulations (2015, methodology): “that specific factors account for unique influence of the specific domains over and above the general factor [27].”
