• An Empirical Evaluation of the Use of Fixed Cutoff Points in RMSEA Test Statistic in Structural Equation Models (2008, background): “In addition, as Nevitt and Hancock (2000) acknowledged, it was difficult to evaluate the hypothesis tests for misspecified models under nonnormal conditions because the true lack of fit in the population for the misspecified models is due to both misspecification and nonnormality.”
• Psychometric properties of the youth experience survey with young athletes (2012, unknown): “The c 2 value has been identi fi ed as potentially problematic due to sample size sensitivity, but its value is reported since it represents the only true inferential statistic of model testing (Markland, 2007).”
• Computing Robust, Bootstrap-Adjusted Fit Indices for Use With Nonnormal Data (2016, background): “…supplement or supplant the χ2 statistic under extreme sample size conditions (e.g., Barrett, 2007; Beauducel &Wittmann, 2005; Gerbing&Anderson, 1992;Markland, 2007;Marsh, Balla, &McDonald, 1988; Steiger, 2007), researchers in practice often focus on obtained values of these fit indices due to…”
• Measurement of Transformational Leadership and its Relationship with Team Cohesion and Performance Level (2009, methodology): “For assessing the fit indices, Hu and Bentler’s (1999) relatively conservative criteria were also used (Markland, 2007).”
• Reporting practices in confirmatory factor analysis: an overview and some recommendations.

• Psychological need thwarting in the sport context: assessing the darker side of athletic experience. (2011, background): “Although values indicative of acceptable model fit remain controversial (Markland, 2007; Marsh, Hau, & Wen, 2004), it is typically accepted that CFI and NNFI values exceeding .”
