Abstract
AbstractCovariance structure analysis provides a useful methodology to test hypotheses about competing structural models. The chi-square goodness of fit test is basically an appropriate test for model evaluation. However, methodologists are particularly concerned about the validity of the test to detect misspecified models in small samples. At the same time, there is the concern of rejecting models with reasonably good fit in large samples. The present Monte Carlo study examined the validity of the chi-square test in different instances of misspecification and sample size. The usefulness of the chi-square difference statistic to compare competing structures and improvement in fit is also addressed.
