A Bifactor Approach to Dimensionality Assessment
Bifactor confirmatory factor analysis models and statistical indices computed from them have previously been used to provide evidence for the appropriateness of utilizing a unidimensional interpretation of multidimensional data.

On the distortion of model fit in comparing the bifactor model and the higher-order factor model [PDF]
Gignac (2016) showed that if the constraint by which the higher-order factor model is nested within the bifactor model is violated (the so-called ‘proportionality constraint’), model misfit relates strongly to the magnitude of the violation. In the present paper two clarifications of the results by Gignac are discussed.

Sensory and affective components of symptom perception
Psychological accounts of symptom perception put forward that symptom experiences consist of sensory-perceptual and affective-motivational components. This division is also suggested by psychometric studies investigating the latent structure of symptom ...

Background Children often experience both posttraumatic stress (PTS) and depression after potentially traumatic events (PTEs). Latent class analyses (LCAs) identify subgroups with different co‐occurring symptoms, but little is known about what predicts transitions between these symptom classes over time. Analyzing these transitions could reveal factors

Identification and Interpretation of the Completely Oblique Rasch Bifactor Model
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.

Re‐investigating the psychometric properties of the Caregiver–Provider Relationship Assessment
Abstract INTRODUCTION This study examined the psychometrics of the Caregiver–Provider Relationship Assessment (CPRA) by evaluating whether the negatively worded items impact the fit of the proposed measurement model. METHODS A sample of family caregivers to persons with dementia (N = 228) completed online surveys about caregiving experiences that ...
