Podsumowanie	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.	Confirmatory factor analysis tests a researcher-specified factor structure against observed data. Unlike exploratory approaches, the researcher decides in advance which indicators load on which latent factor, and the model is evaluated by how closely the implied covariance matrix reproduces the sample covariance matrix. CFA is central to scale validation, construct validity assessment, and measurement invariance testing.
