title: An evaluation of competing structural models of adolescents' concerns: chi-squared, fit indices, and parsimony.
abstract: In 1993 Adwere-Boamah and Curtis replicated a 1988 study by Violato and Holden of a four-factor model of adolescents' concerns. Employing confirmatory factor analysis, they concluded that the model did not fit the data well. In a reanalysis, it is suggested in the present paper that on the contrary, the results support the original model.
