Using the Fraction of Missing Information (FMI) in Selecting Auxiliary Variables to Impute Missingness in Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)
… auxiliary variables in imputing missing data in confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). This was done by conducting two studies (a simulation study and an empirical study). A Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to compare the performance and the effect of the restrictive strategy based on FMI …

Examining the Factor Structure of the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS) in Emerging Adults: An Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling Approach
… personality-matching interventions. The SURPS’ factor structure shows inconsistencies, and evidence suggests that confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is too restrictive for measures capturing correlated constructs. We examined if exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) better captured …

Assessing measurement invariance in long and short forms of the BIS/BAS scales across demographic subgroups with validation via impulsivity and internalizing and externalizing problem scales.
… Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and moderated nonlinear factor analysis (MNLFA), we tested and corrected for measurement invariance. External validation of adjusted factor scores (correcting for measurement error) via correlational analyses with …
