Effect of equality constraints on ΔCFI for small and large-screen devices. CFI: comparative fit index. Based on the first model (no constraints), each sequential constrained model showed that the goodness of model fit (CFI) decreased (ΔCFI). ΔCFI > 0.02 was used to indicate that the equality constraint is not applicable. Factor loading (path coefficient from latent variables to observed variables), intercepts of observed variables (estimated average for each item), and mean of latent variables (estimated average of measured concept (QOL subscales)) were judged to be comparable between basic and dynamic formats. Errors of observed variables (variance of each item) among children using narrow-screen devices (less than 600 pixels) were judged to be different to those among children using wide-screen devices (greater than 600 pixels)
