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. Pat |

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