3. Results
Results of model fit are displayed in Table 1. The AQ demonstrated
unsatisfactory model fit. Fit indices for the AQ-SF were better; in fact,
the fit indices for the four-factor CFA model were borderline “good”
fit. Results for the BAQ were reasonable with both relative and absolute
indices achieving minimum “acceptable” thresholds for the four-factor
model. In all models, the unidimensional model did not fit well.
Table 2 shows that factor correlations were mostly moderate to moderately
high.
Table 2 also displays alpha values for all factors. These (.64 ≤ α ≤ .90)
were mostly in the acceptable range for all factors of the AQ and AQ-SF,
except for the alpha value for VA on the BAQ.
ESEM analysis yielded fair to good model fit indices. As ESEM
includes all cross-loadings, standardized parameter loadings were
assessed (Table 3). The loadings of the original AQ were reasonable,
