This will seem like a really silly question to you, but here goes ...
I am running a pretty simple CFA with two continuous factors with three indicators each. In the output section, I ask for standardized results and all modification indices.
The fit looks pretty good. CFI is 0.979 and SRMR 0.043. So its looking good according to Hu and Bentler.
I am worried that the factors might be highly correlated (I hope they're not), but want to be sure. Where can I determine this in the output? What is a correlation high enough for me to consider a second-order construct? |

BTW, Here's my input:
TITLE: CFA MODEL 2
DATE:
VARIABLE: Long List
USE VARIABLES ARE
Benev1
Benev2
Benev4
Reli1
Reli2
Reli3;
ANALYSIS: TYPE = general;
MODEL: BENEV BY Benev1@1 Benev2 Benev4;
RELIAB BU Reli1@1 Reli2 Reli3;
BENEV WITH RELIAB;
OUTPUT: STANDARDIZED; MODINDICES (ALL); |

Please restrict posts to one window.
See TECH4 for factor correlations. You cannot have a second-order model with only two first-order factors. |

Dear Linda,
I would like to know if Mplus can provide the significance level or p-value for the correlations reported in TECH4. Thanks.

| No, we don't give standard errors for TECH4. |
