  1. CFI Comparative Fit Index, RMSEA Root Mean Square Error of Approximation. Rated items that were common and unique to each instrument are shown in Fig. 1. Good model fit is typically defined as CFI values greater than 0.95 and RMSEA values less than 0.05. Poor fit for all-item models signal inadequacy of the unidimensionality assumption
