Note. –2LL = -2*loglikelihood; df = degrees of freedom; AIC = Akaike Information Criterion; BICadj = sample-size adjusted Bayesian Information Criterion; LRT = likelihood ratio test; G × E = gene-environment interplay model with gene-environment interactions and correlations; A = additive genetic variance; C = shared environmental variance; E = nonshared environmental variance; ns = nonsignificant at p < .05.
