Multiple dimensions of health locus of control in a representative population sample: ordinal factor analysis and cross-validation of an existing three and a new four factor model

Table 6 Results of cross-validation for two sequences of nested models

1^st sequence	Model 1¹	Model 2²	Model 3³	Model 4⁴	Saturated Model⁵
CVI ⁶	3.99	2.53	1.65	1.46	0.45
2^nd sequence			Model 3a ⁷	Model 4a ⁸	Saturated Model a ⁹
CVI			1.48	1.11	0.41

¹ Model with one general latent variable;
² Model with latent variables Internality and Externality;
³ Model with latent variables Internality, Externality powerful Others and Chance;
⁴ Model with latent variables Internality, Formal Help, Informal Help and Chance;
⁵ Model with perfect fit;
⁶ Cross-validation index developed by Cudeck and Browne (1983) [71];
⁷ Model 3a corresponded, generally, to Model 3, but did not include item 12;
⁸ Model 4a corresponded, generally, to Model 4, but did not include item 12;
⁹ Model with perfect fit that did not include item 12.
