The Rediscovery of Bifactor Measurement Models [PDF]
Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2012 Bifactor latent structures were introduced over 70 years ago, but only recently has bifactor modeling been rediscovered as an effective approach to modeling construct-relevant multidimensionality in a set of ordered categorical item responses. I begin by describing the Schmid-Leiman bifactor procedure (Schmid & Leiman, 1957), and highlight its ...

Structural validation of the Self-Compassion Scale with a German general population sample. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Published validation studies have reported different factor structures for the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). The objective of this study was to assess the factor structure of the SCS in a large general population sample representative of the German ...

Bifactor and Bifactor S-1 Model Estimations with Non-Reverse-Coded Data
Eğitimde ve Psikolojide Ölçme ve Değerlendirme Dergisi, 2022 The bifactor model is an extension of Spearman’s two-factor theory. The bifactor model has a strict assumption, which is named orthogonality. The bifactor S-1 model was developed by stretching the orthogonality assumption of the bifactor model. The bifactor S-1 model, contrary to the bifactor model, allows correlation between specific factors and ...

A General Approach for Fitting Pure Exploratory Bifactor Models [PDF]
Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2018 This article proposes a procedure for fitting a pure exploratory bifactor solution in which the general factor is orthogonal to the group factors, but the loadings on the group factors can satisfy any orthogonal or oblique rotation criterion. The proposal combines orthogonal Procrustes rotations with analytical rotations and consists of a sequence of ...

Dimensionality of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ48)
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Currently there is debate as to whether mental toughness is a unidimensional or multidimensional construct. To investigate the dimensionality of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 48-items (MTQ48), a widely used measure of mental toughness, we examined ...

Evidence for the reliability and validity, and some support for the practical utility of the two-factor Consideration of Future Consequences Scale-14 [PDF]
, 2016 Researchers have proposed 1-factor, 2-factor, and bifactor solutions to the 12-item Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFCS-12). In order to overcome some measurement problems and to create a robust and conceptually useful two-factor scale the ...

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2019 Objectives: Although cross-sectional investigations have found a bifactor structure of psychiatric comorbidity that includes a general psychopathology factor plus more specific factors, prospective evidence supporting the bifactor structure is still ...

African Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2021 This brief article attempts to describe the importance of relying not just on model fit indices, but also on bifactor, confirmatory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of instruments presumed to be multidimensional.

Construct validity, dimensionality and factorial invariance of the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale: A bifactor modelling approach among children of prisoners [PDF]
, 2014 The Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1989) has traditionally been conceptualised as a unidimensional measure of self-esteem but empirical evidence is equivocal, with some studies supporting a one-factor solution and others favouring ...

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 ...
