| SB Χ2 | df | BIC | RMSEA | Wald Test | df | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 3 (Full Model) | 585.50 | 264 | 113550 | .053 | |||

| Model 6 (Drop a33 and c32)* | 644.43 | 268 | 113563 | .057 | 64.0 | 2 | <.001 |
| Model 7 (Drop a33 and e32) | 596.91 | 268 | 113530 | .053 | 2.9 | 2 | .22 |
Notes: SB Χ2 = Satorra-Bentler chi-square; SB ΔΧ2 = Satorra-Bentler scaled-difference chi-square; df = degrees of freedom; BIC = Bayesian information criterion; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation. All models allow for quantitative sex differences. Pathway labels are shown in Figure 1. Model 3 is the full model illustrated in Figure 1. Model 4 is the same full model but dropping a33, which was estimated to be 0. The fits of models 5–7 are compared to Model 4. In Model 5, genetic pathways a32 and a33 were dropped. In Model 6, genetic pathway a33 and environmental pathway c32 were dropped. In Model 7, genetic pathway a33 and environmental pathway e32 were dropped.
A Wald test indicates that dropping c32 from the model results in a significant loss in fit.
