a r t i c l e i n f o Research on educational outcomes conceptualizes socioeconomic condition as a multidimensional construct. Quantitative empirical investigations are generally based on single, composite indicators. However, the use of single, composite indicators does not reveal what mechanisms determine inequalities. We use multigroup confirmatory factor analysis and alignment optimization ...

OBJECTIVE Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a significant public health concern. Numerous internalizing and externalizing psychiatric disorders have been found to be related to STD risk. However, to date, no studies have examined several psychiatric disorders simultaneously to account for STD risk. Given that psychiatric disorders often co-occur and can be explained by a limited number o...

This study investigated the factor structure of the 26-item Midlife Development Inventory (MIDI) Personality Scale in a sample of 2,720 Americans. It was found that whereas confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) did not provide an acceptable fit to the data, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) provided an acceptable fit. The results of ESEM revealed that the a priori five-factor structu...

In this article, we provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development. We present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests. We discuss the comparative advantages of this approach over a one-step approach. Considerations in spec...
