DESCRIPTION:Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is one of the most central a
 nalytic techniques in social sciences. However\, model fit assessment stil
 l heavily relies on arbitrary cutoffs (e.g.\, RMSEA ≤ .05\, CFI ≥ .95)
 \, which lack universal validity. Misinterpreting these thresholds contrib
 utes to the accumulation of misspecified models in the literature. In our 
 talk\, we introduce an up-to-date CFA fit assessment framework based on co
 nceptual understanding\, local fit evaluation\, and dynamic benchmarks. Ou
 r tutorial comes with all the resources needed to bring CFA-fitting into t
 he new century: an R script\, empirical examples\, and a decision tree. By
  abandoning inflexible cutoffs and embracing a more nuanced model fit eval
 uation\, we can shrink the number of misspecified models in the literature
  and\, consequently\, refine our theories.
