Note. The final model incorporated full metric invariance--all unstandardized loadings are equal across racial/ethnic groups. There are a few residual variances as well as three factor variances for Black Families that were not invariant and this causes the standardized loading to differ slightly. Loadings in italics are the loadings that vary slightly due to lack of invariance in the item and factor variances.
