Dear TalkStats,
I am fitting a structural equation model and one of the latent variables has 3 out of 5 factor loadings under .60 I heard that this may be a cut off point for legitimate loadings, but I can't find a reference. In any case, both the measurement model and the structural model have high GFI scores, and the model is well grounded in theory. (Also, I am using standardized coefficients.)
Is the latent variable with low (<.6) factor loadings a cause for concern?
