The Bifactor Model of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [PDF]

European Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2013
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a frequently used instrument developed for screening childhood mental health problems. The aim of this study is to clarify the structure of the Hungarian version of SDQ, to test previous measurement models, and to propose an alternative bifactor model. Data were collected from a community sample of

Identification and Interpretation of the Completely Oblique Rasch Bifactor Model. [PDF]

Psychometrika
Abstract Bifactor Item Response Theory (IRT) models are the usual option for modeling composite constructs. However, in application, researchers typically must assume that all dimensions of person parameter space are orthogonal. This can result in absurd model interpretations.

The Bifactor Model Fits Better Than the Higher-Order Model in More Than 90% of Comparisons for Mental Abilities Test Batteries

Journal of Intelligence, 2017
The factor structure of mental abilities has most often been depicted using a higher-order model. Under this model, general mental ability (g) is placed at the top of a pyramid, with “loading” arrows going from it to the other factors of intelligence ...

Accommodating flourishing and depressive symptoms into the bifactor (S–1) model of mental health: longitudinal invariance and criterion validity [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
This study examined the longitudinal reliability and validity of the bifactor (S–1) model of mental health among 371 Chinese university students, refining the dual-factor model that views mental health as encompassing both flourishing and ...

Modeling externalizing disorders with the bifactor-(S-1) model

Behaviormetrika
The internal structure of externalizing disorders is often studied using the symmetrical bifactor model, which often shows anomalous results. The bifactor-(S-1) model (Eid et al., 2017) aimed to eliminate anomalous results. In order to evaluate the use of the bifactor-(S-1) model, this study applied the model to externalizing disorders in the Japanese ...

A Construct Revalidation of the Community of Inquiry Survey: Empirical Evidence for a General Factor Under a Bifactor Structure

International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2021
The study revisited the community of inquiry (CoI) instrument for construct revalidation. To that end, the study used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine four competing models (unidimensional, correlated-factor, second-order factor, and ...

Investigating the Dimensionality of Early Numeracy Using the Bifactor Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling Framework

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
The few studies that have analyzed the factorial structure of early number skills have mainly used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and have yielded inconsistent results, since early numeracy is considered to be unidimensional, multidimensional or even
