How to interpret SEM model fit results in AMOS
There are several fit indices used in SEM, and the criteria for satisfactory fit can vary depending on the specific model being tested, the sample size, and the complexity of the model. However, there are some commonly used fit indices that are recommended to be considered when assessing model fit in SEM. These include:
· Root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA*).
· Goodness of fit Index (GFI*).
· Comparative fit index (CFI*).
· Tucker-Lewis index (TLI *).
* Parameters/Values of particular interest
It's important to note that these fit indices are not independent of each other and should be considered together to assess model fit. Additionally, the choice of fit indices can vary depending on the research question and the specific model being tested.
