This paper proposes a new approach to factor analysis and structural equation modeling using Bayesian analysis. The new approach replaces parameter specifications of exact zeros and exact equalities with approximate zeros and equalities based on informative, smallvariance priors. It is argued that this produces an analysis that better reflects substantive theories. The proposed Bayesian approac...

BACKGROUND In last few years, the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has become dominant in structural validation of psychological tests. However, the requirement of latent variables only loading on specific target items introduces some constraints on the solutions found, namely a factor solution that links some items only in one specific dimension. The most recent use of exploratory str...
