Factor loadings are from the completely standardized solution. The first-listed item for each latent construct was fixed at 1.0 in the unstandardized solution.

Measurement error terms are from the completely standardized solution. All factor loadings and measurement error terms are significant at the 0.001 level.

Item content is paraphrased for the purpose of identification. See Table 1 for the complete text of each indicator.

The second and third listed items were constrained to be equivalent in the unstandardized solution for the Wave 1 and Wave 2 measures of God-mediated control.
