Means of intercepts are adjusted for age and gender differences; variances are not adjusted for age and gender differences. M = Mean; SD = Standard Deviation; VAR = Variance. *p < 0.05. Fit unconditional multiple-group model: χ² (8) = 33.978, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.977; SRMR = 0.032; RMSEA = 0.126 [90% CI = 0.085 (lower limit), 0.172 (upper limit)]; fit model controlled for age and gender effects: χ² (25) = 51.324, p = 0.002; CFI = 0.979; SRMR = 0.051; RMSEA = 0.072 [90% CI = 0.043 (lower limit), 0.100 (upper limit)].
