Self-Determination and Classroom Engagement of EFL Learners: A Mixed-Methods Study of the Self-System Model of Motivational Development (2019, methodology): “Good model fit was present when either the chisquare test was non-significant, or RMSEA and SRMR values were less than .08, and CFI was more than .95 (Bandalos & Finney, 2010; Hu & Bentler, 1999; Phakiti, 2018).”
One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Using Factor Analysis to Gather Validity Evidence When Using Surveys in Your Research (2019, methodology): “However, caution should be taken before adding or removing any parameters (Bandalos and Finney, 2010).”
Understanding and Promoting Thinking About Knowledge (2016, background): “Researchers interested in developing such measures should endeavor to understand and meet epistemic ideals for psychometric validity (e.g., Bandalos & Finney, 2010; Knapp & Mueller, 2010) and should fully report the evidence regarding such efforts in their empirical work.”
Evidence Regarding the Internal Structure: Confirmatory Factor Analysis (2017, background): “Whichever fit indexes are used, most methodologists agree that more than one, and probably several, should be used to increase confidence in model fit (Bandalous & Finney, 2010).”
