The results of the model fitting are summarised in Table 4. Notes: χ2 difference (χ2 diff); root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA); goodness of fit index (GFI); comparative fit index (CFI); normative fit index (NFI); ns = non significant (p >.05).

This relatively modest, but reliable, difference in BIC reflected an inherent difficulty in distinguishing these models with the particular task conditions we used (fitting simulated data from either model yielded similarly small BIC differences: −1.448 ± 0.900 for simulations based on the normative fits and 1.393 ± 1.054 for simulations using the stabilizing-boundary fits).

On the philosophical map, pro-nationalist normative tastes fit nicely with the communitarian stance in general: most pro-nationalist philosophers are communitarians who choose the nation as the preferred community (in contrast to those of their fellow communitarians who prefer more far-ranging communities, such as those defined by global religious traditions).

(A ) Data. (B ) Fit normative model.

We report the correlation between ϕ and the prediction from the asymptotic approximation of the fit normative model: log ((1 − H s u b j ) / H s u b j ).

By identifying factors which might affect patient preference for involvement, health professionals may move away from a normative, 'one size fits all' approach, be more sensitive to individual patient's preferences and provide better patient-centred; individual-appropriate care.
