Reviewer Resources: Confirmatory Factor Analysis
总结了验证性因子分析的复杂性,涵盖估计过程、统计检验力、模型拟合与修改等,并提供一份清单供审稿人和研究者评估相关研究。
Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) are widely used in the organizational literature. As a result, understanding how to properly conduct these analyses, report the results, and interpret their implications is critically important for advancing organizational research. The goal of this paper is to summarize the complexities of CFA models and, therefore, to provide a resource for journal reviewers and researchers who are using CFA in their research. The topics covered in this paper include the estimation process, power analyses, model fit, and model modifications, among other things. In addition, this paper concludes with a checklist that summarizes the key points that are discussed and can be used to evaluate future studies that incorporate CFA.
