Comparing the Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients across distributions and sample sizes: A tutorial using simulations and empirical data. (2016, background): “As mathematically shown by Yuan and Bentler (2000), the distribution of r p depends only on the fourth-order moments (or kurtoses) of the two variables, not on their skewness (see also Yuan, Bentler, & Zhang, 2005).”
Goodness of Fit in Item Factor Analysis: Effect of the Number of Response Alternatives (2017, background): “Finally, Yuan, Bentler, and Zhang (2005) described the bias that arises in goodnessof-fit statistics with increased skewness and kurtosis.”
