Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The hypothesized three-factor structure of TEDDICS was supported by ESEM, which fit the data better than CFA. → Siddiq F. 2015

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Structural equation modeling analysis of the ICILS 2013 Norwegian teacher sample (N = 1,072) comparing CFA and ESEM measurement models of TEDDICS. The article reports that "ESEM significantly outperformed the CFA model" on the printed fit-change indices.
"Moreover, ESEM significantly outperformed the CFA model (∆RMSEA = -.025, ∆CFI = +.061, ∆TLI = +.062) and was thus accepted."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- TEDDICS is positively related to ICT self-efficacy, frequency of ICT use, and perceived usefulness of ICT — related
- Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) differentiates victimization components better than traditional CFA, which positively biases factor correlations — a broader claim this one bears on
- Bifactor-ESEM shows the highest fit among CFA, ESEM, bifactor-CFA and bifactor-ESEM models, supporting AITAQS as one general factor plus four specific dimensions. — related
- Perceived social-emotional competence is best modeled as a bifactor structure with one global factor and five specific factors among Australian adolescents — related
