While the 24-item ADI was found to have good reliability as a unifactorial construct (? = .92), results of the confirmatory factor analysis suggest that the Harrell and Wirtz (1989) four domain design was not an acceptable modeling of the data. As seen in Table 1, the goodness of fit statistics for the original 24-item model were not acceptable (?2 = 1710.85 [246]; RMSEA = 0.90; CFI =.81; TLI = .79). Further, drawing from the modification indices, the specification of multiple correlated error terms improved the goodness of fit statistics but not to the degree that it could yield an acceptable fit for the 24-item model (?2 = 1077.28 [229]; RMSEA = 0.071; CFI = .89; TLI = .87).
