2.4. Testing the Measurement Model

Below is a sample output image with goodness of fit indexes.

When compared with the cutoff criteria of fit indexes in Table 1, GFI=.978, AGFI=.944, NFI=.975 and TLI=.973 are evaluated among the “good fit” criteria. The goodness of fit indexes of the measurement model are expected to be within the range of good fit or acceptable fit criteria. The structural model should be tested after evaluating the goodness of fit indexes of the measurement model.
