Just as in any other statistical technique, there is a wide variety in terms of the practice and reporting of CFA. Find two studies that use CFA techniques to analyze the structure of a psychological measurement. Study how the CFAs are reported and note differences between the two different studies. 

1. Describe the underlying models being tested in each article. Determine the rationale that the author(s) used to create the models. Did they rely on previous research to justify their model or did they rely more heavily on theory? 

2. What fit indexes and tests of model fit did the authors use? 

3. Did the authors use modification indexes to revise their model? If so, how did they justify or explain their use? 

4. Did the authors use item bundles? If so, how did they create those bundles? 

5. How did the use of CFA help the authors to better understand their scale?
