Sample of 200 has multivariate kurtosis of 264. after removing several outliers multivariate kurtosis is at 232. how to proceed with covariance based SEM?
Perform CFA first to see the fitness of latent variables of your model.
If CFA is reasonable then run for initial model and if needed then adjust in your initial model.
Don't change the theory too much just for significant values. You are the best judge for the fitness of model in your study context.
Muhammed Ashraful Alam thank you. thats what i am doing now.
Keep it up, dear Mohamed Mihilar Shamil
The Satorra-Bentler adjustment would be recommended for data that do not comply with the normal distribution.
