Model Fit Statistics for RQ: What Causal Order of Mediators Bests Fits These Data in a Combined Model?

	χ²	df	p.value	CFI	RMSEA
Model 1 (simultaneous mediation)	993	126	<.001	0.92	0.074
Model 2 (perceived AAF prior)	1071	128	<.001	0.91	0.076
Model 3 (concern prior)	983	128	<.001	0.92	0.073

Note: As reported in text, there is a statistically significant superiority in fit for Model 3 over Model 1, the next best-fitting model.
