A Bifactor Model of Disgust Proneness
The current research evaluated a bifactor model for the Disgust Emotion Scale (DES) in three samples: N = 1,318 nonclinical participants, N = 152 clinic-referred patients, and N = 352 nonclinical participants. The primary goals were to (a) use bifactor modeling to examine the latent structure of the DES and in turn (b) evaluate whether the DES should ...

Evaluating Bifactor Models of Psychopathology Using Model-Based Reliability Indices
There is has been a rapid increase in quantitative researchers applying the bifactor model to psychopathology data. The bifactor model, which typically includes a general p factor and internalizing and externalizing residual factors, consistently demonstrates superior model fit to competing models, including the correlated factors model, which ...
