सारांश	Robust model testing research applies structural or path models to data while explicitly accounting for violations of multivariate normality and other distributional assumptions. Rather than discarding non-normal data or forcing transformations, it uses corrected estimators — most notably the Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-square and Yuan-Bentler robust standard errors — to produce trustworthy fit indices and parameter estimates even when classical maximum likelihood assumptions are breached.	Multivariate model testing research is a confirmatory quantitative design in which a theoretically derived model involving multiple variables and their interrelationships is formally tested against empirical data. Rather than exploring patterns inductively, the researcher specifies a model a priori — capturing hypothesized directional paths, latent constructs, or covariance structures — and then evaluates how well this model reproduces the observed data using techniques such as structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, or multivariate path analysis.
