indicated that the six-factor model of Morin et al. (1999)
provided the best fit to the data in that both TLI and CFI were
greater than 0.9, RMSEA was less than 0.1, and the x2/df ratio was
less than 2. The two- and four-factor solutions published by Beck
et al. (1988) and Osman et al. (2002), respectively, provided
acceptable fit to the data, but did not fit the data as well as the sixfactor
Morin et al. (1999) model. Within the Morin et al. model, all
factor loadings were positive, statistically significant (p < .05) and
were greater than 0.3. However, within the Morin model
convergence problems were noted, and the standardized factor
loading for BAI item 13 was greater than 1.0. Further analysis of the
correlation matrix indicated that two items from the ‘‘motor
tension’’ factor, BAI items 12 (‘‘Hands trembling’’) and 13
(‘‘Shaky’’), were very highly correlated (r > 0.77) suggesting that
these contributed to the convergence problems. The factor
loadings in the two- and four-factor models were also positive
and significant. As expected, all factor intercorrelations were
