Citations in the corpus

• Community Perceptions of Police Body-Worn Cameras (2017, methodology): “RMSEA values less than 0.07 indicate good fit (Steiger, 2007).”
• Expanding customer engagement: the role of negative engagement, dual valences and contexts (2020, methodology): “An RSMEA under 0.07 is considered to be good model fit by Steiger (2007) and Hooper et al. (2008).”
• I Matter to My Friend, Therefore I am Happy: Friendship, Mattering, and Happiness (2011, methodology): “As for SRMR and RMSEA, values of .08 or less indicate good fit (Hu and Bentler 1999; Kline 2005; Steiger 2007; Tabachnick and Fidell 2001; Thompson 2000).”
• Reliability and validity of the Turkish Version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8) among university students (2011, background): “RMSEA should be below the recommended level of 0.08 (Brown, 2006; Schumacker ve Lomax, 1996; Steiger, 2007; Sümer, 2000).”
• Gender, work orientations and job satisfaction (2015, methodology): “A RMSEA index of 0.07 or lower is generally taken as a good fit to the data (Steiger, 2007).”
• Assessing Internet Addiction Using the Parsimonious Internet Addiction Components Model—A Preliminary Study (2013, methodology): “Overall, for both Internet addiction measures, the Internet addiction components model was a good fit to the data, where CFI and TLI≥ .95, RMSEA<.07, and WRMR≥1 indicate excellent fit (Hooper et al. 2008; Hu and Bentler 1999; Steiger 2007; Yu 2002).”
• A Practical Measure of Student Motivation (2015, methodology): “Instead of using strict accept/reject decision rules (Iacobucci, 2009; Steiger, 2007), we used assessments of global model fit, local model fit, and change in model fit between competing models to make holistic judgments about the adequacy of tested models.”
• Influential Factors in Academic and Career Self‐Efficacy: Attachment, Supports, and Career Barriers (2014, methodology): “However, the chi-square does represent a stringent exact fit (Martens, 2005) or perfect fit of the model to the data (Steiger, 2007), and others have discouraged rejecting models based solely on the chi-square value (Kline, 2011; Steiger, 2007).”
• Job involvement, commitment, satisfaction and turnover: Evidence from hotel employees in Cyprus (2014, methodology): “…additional fit statistics, the model yielded a Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) of 0.059 (below the acceptable threshold of 0.070, as suggested by Steiger, 2007), with a lower boundary of a two-sided 90% confidence interval for the population of 0.056 and an upper boundary of 0.063.”
• Entrepreneurial fear of failure: Scale development and validation (2020, positive): “Finally, an RMSEA of between .08 and .10 provides a mediocre fit, while below .08 shows a good fit (MacCallum et al., 1996), although subsequently, a cut-off value close to .06 (Hu and Bentler, 1999) or a stringent upper limit of .07 (Steiger, 2007) seems to be more generally accepted.”
• Developing an Instrument for Teacher Feedback : Using the Rasch Model to Explore Teachers' Development of Effective Teaching Strategies and Behaviors (2018, background): “Others point out that an exact test of one-dimensionality is overly strict and often rejects the null-hypothesis even when the data can be appropriately described using one dimension (e.g., DeMars, 2010; Steiger, 2007; Stout, 1990).”
• The link between supply chain fit and financial performance of the firm (2012, neutral): “The CFA ndicated an acceptable fit ( 2/df = 1.998; GFI = .922; RMSEA = .062; RMR = .053) (Hair et al., 2010; Steiger, 2007).”
