Although a review of the MI results in Table 7.4 reveals a few large values, here again, based on a moderately satisfactory goodness-of-fit (MLM χ2[200] = 505.831; CFI = 0.937; RMSEA = 0.047; SRMR = 0.052) and bearing in mind the importance of model parsimony, I consider Model 4 as the final baseline model for secondary teachers. Comparison of these Model 4 results with those for Model 3 reveals the corrected difference to be statistically significant (ΔMLM χ2[1] = 23.493, p < .001).

Having now established a separate baseline model for both elementary and secondary teachers, we are ready to test hypotheses bearing on the equivalence of the MBI across the two teaching panels. A pictorial representation of these baseline models is shown in Figure 7.1; it provides the foundation against which we test the series of increasingly stringent hypotheses related to MBI structure.
