Summary information from latent growth parallel process models of pros of protection, pros of exposure, and decisional balance with sun protection behavior.

	Model Estimated Correlations				Tests of Model Fit

Model	Sun protection behavior	Construct measure	Intercepts	Slopes	χ²_(df)	CFI	RMSEA
	I1 with S1	I2 with S2	I1 with I2	S1 with S2	p-value
Model 2: Pros of protection	.056	-.117	.593^*	.746^*	59.51 (18)	.982	.053
					p < .0001
Model 3: Pros of exposure	.236	-.070	-.238^*	-.103	41.67 (19)	.988	.038

Model 4: Decisional balance	.112	.096	.595^*	.805^*	51.37 (18)	.986	.048

Note. I1 = sun protection behavior latent intercept, S1 = sun protection behavior latent slope, I2 = construct measure latent intercept, S2 = construct measure latent slope, CFI = comparative fit index, RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation. I to S cross-correlations between sun protection behavior and construct measures (i.e, I1 with S2 and I2 with S1) were non-significant in all models and are not shown in table.
