T202 |
0-199 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Adequacy of the proposed model in describing the data was established using the goodness-of-fit (GoF) index with values of .100, .250, and .360 corresponding to small, medium, and large effect sizes. |
T203 |
200-309 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Further information on model quality was provided by the average path coefficient and average R2 coefficient. |
T204 |
310-536 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These indices summarize the average parameter estimates of relations in the model and the amount of variance explained in each dependent variable, respectively, and should be statistically significant for a good-quality model. |
T205 |
537-779 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, an overall GoF index is provided by the average block variance inflation factor for model parameters and the average full collinearity variance inflation factor, which should be equal to or lower than 3.3 for well-fitting models. |
T206 |
780-903 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These indices indicate the extent to which latent variables in the model overlap and contribute to model multicollinearity. |
T207 |
904-1010 |
Sentence |
denotes |
They, therefore, provide an indication as to the uniqueness of the existing latent variables in the model. |
T208 |
1011-1243 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Four further indices were also used to evaluate model quality: the Simpson’s paradox ratio (SPR), R2 contribution ratio (R2CR), the statistical suppression ratio (SSR), and the nonlinear bivariate causality direction ratio (NLBCDR). |
T209 |
1244-1465 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The SPR indicates whether the model is free from incidences of Simpson’s paradox (i.e., when the path coefficient and the correlation associated with a latent variable have opposite signs), indicating a causality problem. |
T210 |
1466-1520 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The SPR should exceed .700 and ideally approach 1.000. |
T211 |
1521-1668 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The R2CR and SSR provide indication of the extent to which models are free from instances of negative R2 contributions and statistical suppression. |
T212 |
1669-1728 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The R2CR and SSR should exceed .900 and .700, respectively. |
T213 |
1729-2065 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The NLBCDR provides an estimate of the extent to which the proposed “causal” associations in the proposed model are more tenable than those in the opposite direction and provide an initial indicator of support for the hypothesized directions of the causal links in the proposed model compared to if the proposed direction were reversed. |
T214 |
2066-2120 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The NLBCDR should exceed .700 for high-quality models. |
T215 |
2121-2199 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Kock [33] provides further technical details on model fit and quality indices. |
