Greetings ...

im doing a research on the three basic needs in SDT (autonomy, competence and relatedness). when i run CFA for these needs the results showed an acceptable model fit but the correlation with the factors was very high (in some cases 1.08 between two factors).

the modification indices showed that many indicators co-variance with each other even they have different underlying factors.

can someone help me to solve this issue regarding correlation between factors?

or i just go further for next steps sine the model fit is acceptable regardless of high correlated factors which can lead to multicollinearity??

looking to hear from you...

Thanks in advance
