“…Model fit was assessed with the model chi-square, the standardized root mean squared residual (SRMR; (Bentler, 1995;Joreskog & Sorbom, 1981), the root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA; (Browne & Cudek, 1993;Cudek & Browne, 1983), the comparative fit index (CFI; (Bentler, 1990), and the non-normed fit index (NNFI; (Bentler & Bonnett, 1980;Tucker & Lewis, 1973)). The chi-square test is known to be highly sensitive to sample size, and can result in rejection of closely fitting models in large samples.…”

A critical focus of neuropsychological research is to identify unbiased ways to compare heterogeneous groups on background variables relevant to neuropsychological performance. While recent work has pointed to single word reading as a less culturally biased measure of educational experience than years of education, the extent to which reading score captures a broad range of educational experience, and does so consistently across ethnic and language groups is unknown. The current study evaluated reading in relation to years of education in English-speaking Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic elders, and Spanish-speaking Hispanic elders (n=342). Consistent with previous work, reading scores at each grade level were lower in English speaking ethnic minorities than in Caucasians, supporting the idea that variables related to lifetime educational experience are often confounded with ethnicity. Standardized reading scores were highest in the Spanish speakers; however, interpretation of this difference is limited as scores were necessarily derived using separate normative samples. Importantly, the slopes of reading score by years of education were comparable across all groups. That is, reading scores rose consistently with years of education independently of ethnicity or language, suggesting that such scores can be treated comparably for theoretical and statistical purposes in multiethnic and multilingual samples.

“…Noninvariance is claimed if the χ 2 difference is statistically significant (Byrne 2010). However, the χ 2 difference test represents an extremely stringent test of invariance, given that SEM models are at best only approximations of reality (Cudeck and Browne 1983;MacCallum, Roznowski, and Necowitz 1992); thus, we decided that it would be more reasonable to base invariance decisions on a difference in CFI values exhibiting a probability < 0.01 rather than to base such decisions on Δχ 2 (Cheung and Rensvold 2002). Because there is still no consensus on which tests of invariance better represent the phenomena (Byrne 2010), we report both the χ 2 difference and CFI difference results when reviewing the results pertinent to cross-validation in this article.…”

Researchers and brand managers have limited understanding of the effects social media communication has on how consumers perceive brands. We investigated 504 Facebook users in order to observe the impact of firm-created and user-generated social media communication on brand equity, brand attitude and purchase intention by using a standardized online survey throughout Poland. To test the conceptual model, we analyzed 60 brands across three different industries: non-alcoholic beverages, clothing and mobile network operators. When analyzing the data, we applied the structural equation modeling technique to both investigate the interplay of firm-created and user-generated social media communication and examine industry-specific differences. The results of the empirical studies showed that usergenerated social media communication had a positive influence on both brand equity and brand attitude, whereas firm-created social media communication affected only brand attitude. Both brand equity and brand attitude were shown to have a positive influence on purchase intention. In addition, we assessed measurement invariance using a multi-group structural modeling equation. The findings revealed that the proposed measurement model was invariant across the researched industries. However, structural path differences were detected across the models.

“…78 For this third stage of the pilot study the revised instrument was administered to 116 graduate and undergraduate students (yielding 114 usable questionnaires) in a Southern metropolitan university (Table 1, P6). This was sufficient for a small measurement model to be tested using structural equations modelling (SEM).…”

Cross-Validation Of Covariance Structures

Abstract: This paper examines methods for comparing the suitability of alternative models for covariance matrices. A cross-validation procedure is suggested and its properties are examined. To motivate the discussion, a series of examples is presented using longitudinal data.
