Degrees of freedom (df)18Greater than 1
Normed chi-square3.18Between 1 and 3: good fit
Greater than 5: bad fit
Goodness-of-fit index (GFI)0.977≥0.90

Parsimonious fitAdjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI)0.894≥0.9
Parsimony normed fit index (PNFI)0.735Greater value: better fit
Parsimony goodness-of-fit index (PGFI)0.486≤0.67; but 0.5 is a good fit

Populacional fitRoot mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)0.470Between 0.03 and 0.08;
0.05 is a good fit
