Thanks for the clear clarification. The suggested bi-factor solution sounds attractive. I am going to check it in details. regards, William Revelle wrote: Dear Hyena, Your model is of three correlated factors accounting for the observed variables. Those three correlations may be accounted

HI, I am testing several models about three latent constructs that measure risk attitudes. Two models with different structure obtained identical of fit measures from chisqure to BIC. Model1 assumes three factors are correlated with each other and model two assumes a higher order factor exi
