Standardized parameter estimates for the latent variable path model predicting the risky sexual behavior (a) ignoring age (top), (b) residualizing age (center), and (c) including age as a predictor (bottom).

Measured indicators, factor loadings, and item error variances have been omitted for purposes of presentation. The model that included age as an additional predictor also allowed age to correlate with both Information (φ = .62, p < .001) and Motivation (φ = −.33, p < .01). All p values are one-tailed except for that associated with the path coefficient linking information and risky sex, which is two-tailed because it is opposite to the predicted direction. +p < .10. *p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001.
