本研究以2720名美国人为样本，研究了26个项目的中年发展量表(MIDI)人格量表的因素结构。研究发现，验证性因素分析(CFA)不能为数据提供可接受的拟合，而探索性结构方程建模(ESEM)提供了可接受的拟合。环境扫描电子显微镜的结果显示，人格的先验五因素结构与数据基本一致，所有项目在目标因素上都有显著的负荷。ESEM还显示，其中一些项目对一个以上的人格因素有很大影响。研究结果与前人的研究结果相一致，表明ESEM比CFA更适合于人格特质的研究。
Evaluating Abstract This study investigates the factor structure of the 26-item Midlife Development Inventory (MIDI) Personality Scale, in a sample of 2720 Americans. It is found that whereas confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) does not provide an acceptable fit to the data, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) provides an acceptable fit. The results of ESEM reveal that the a priori five-factor structure of personality is generally consistent with the data, and all items have salient loadings on their target factor. ESEM also reveals that some of the items contribute substantially to more than one personality factor. The results are in line with previous research, and indicate that ESEM is more suitable than CFA for the study of personality traits.
