The following article presents current thinking and research on structural equation modelling fit indices.
Fit indices are statistics which allow researchers to determine how their model which reflects underlying
theory is represented in their data. Structural equation modelling programs provide an abundance of fit
indices which can be quite daunting for an inexperienced researcher to grapple with. This paper seeks to
elucidate this complicated, yet important area of structural equation modelling by presenting a selection
of fit indices that are widely regarded as the most informative indices available to researchers.
In addition to this, guidelines are presented for their use and recommendations are provided on which
indices should be included when reporting model fit. The article concludes with a brief discussion on
the future for fit indices.
Keywords:
structural equation modelling, fit indices, covariance structure modelling, reporting structural equation modelling, model fit.
