Why psychological assessment needs to start worrying about model fit.

The aims of this editorial are (1) to give some insights into the methodology (i.e., simulation studies) that is used to create knowledge on the behavior of goodness of fit (GoF) indices; (2) to provide a brief overview of what the gist of this research is; (3) to look ahead and discuss what authors can do about this when writing up their findings. The authors will not, however, discuss the statistical rationales of the various GoF indices since this is beyond the scope of this editorial. Interested readers should consult, for example, Mulaik (2009) for a detailed account. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
