Model A | 498.638 (162) | .038 | .943 | .936 | 594.638 |
Model B | 511.829 (178) | .036 | .943 | .942 | 575.829 |
Model C | 511.852 (179) | .036 | .944 | .943 | 573.852 |
Model A is factor pattern invariance; Model B is factor loading invariance; Model C is strong factorial invariance. All chi-squared statistics were significant at P < 0.001.
