In a cross-sectional design, Arabic speaking patient (N=118) with neck pain who were referred to physical therapy services completed the items of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ).

A. Describe the key concepts in CFA analysis.
B. Specify and test a CFA model based on one structure recommended by the original scale
developer1 (attached the paper and the date set)

model misspecifications.
