I tried using structural equation modeling to analysis a cross sectional design study data. The dependent variable is categorical (Dichotomous), I have 8 latent variables in my model (independent variables measured by scales), and 2 observed independent variables. The model fit results are: CFI/ TLI: 0.745/ 0.727, RMSEA: 0.046, number of free parameters: 162.
I also tried to modify my model based on the model modification results, but there was still no improvement in the model fitting result.
Do you have any suggestions to deal with this weak fit model? The software I used for analysis is Mplus version 7.4.
Thank you for giving any comments!
