摘要
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a statistical procedure frequently used to test the fit of data to measurement models. Published CFA studies typically report factor pattern coefficients. Few reports, however, also present factor structure coefficients, which can be essential for the accurate interpretation of CFA results. The interpretation errors that can arise when CFA results are interpreted without considering structure coefficients are described, and some examples from current literature illustrating these errors are also presented.
