Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis for Construct Validation: An Empirical Review

Christine DiStefano

This study investigated the psychological assessment literature to determine what applied researchers are using and reporting from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) studies for evidence of construct validation. One hundred and one articles published in four major psychological assessment journals between 1990 and 2002 were systematically reviewed. Information from each article was collected across four broad areas: Background, Data Screening, Reporting Results, and Discussing Results. Temporal trends were assessed with point-biserial correlations to determine how practices have changed over time. From the review, several recommendations were provided to assist assessment researchers report validity evidence from CFA studies.
