Viability of a MSQOL-54 general health-related quality of life score using bifactor model

open access: yesHealth and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2021
Background MSQOL-54 is a multidimensional, widely-used, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument specific for multiple sclerosis (MS). Findings from the validation study suggested that the two MSQOL-54 composite scores are correlated. Given this

Dimensionality of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ48)

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Over reliance on model fit indices in confirmatory factor analyses may lead to incorrect inferences about bifactor models: A cautionary note

open access: yesAfrican 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.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
For practical and theoretical purposes, tests of second language (L2) ability commonly aim to measure one overarching trait, general language ability, while simultaneously measuring multiple sub-traits (e.g., reading, grammar, etc.). This tension between

Bifactor and Bifactor S-1 Model Estimations with Non-Reverse-Coded Data

open access: yesEğitimde 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]

open access: yesMultivariate 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 ...

Examination of a bifactor model of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory- Revised

open access: yesAnálise Psicológica, 2022
The current study evaluated a bifactor model for the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory Revised (OCI-R) in two samples, with (n=188) and without (n=408) obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD). Since the OCI-R has been traditionally conceptualized as a correlated six-factor instrument, our goal was to evaluate the fit of a bifactor model against three competing
