Higher order and bifactor models: Issues in model identification, equivalence, and interpretation by David Flora
- What:
- Researchers often hypothesize that the covariance structure for a set of psychological variables is organized according to a set of specific, narrow constructs along with general, more broad constructs. Such a hypothesis is typically examined using either a hierarchical factor model (of which the bifactor model is a special case) or higher order factor model. This talk will explain how these two types of models are distinct conceptually, though they do have a formal mathematical relationship. Issues of model identification, equivalence, and interpretation that are not well-recognized by researchers will be emphasized.
