Panel A reports selected standardized latent-variable direct, total indirect, and total associations estimated in Amos, with 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals based on 5,000 resamples. Panel B reports ordinary least squares estimates based on composite scale scores. Within Panel B, the seven specific indirect estimates sum, subject to rounding, to the composite-score total indirect association. The latent-variable total indirect associations in Panel A are estimated separately. Bootstrap intervals in Panel B are percentile intervals based on 5,000 samples.
