χ2 shows the goodness of fit, with lower values indicating a better fit; AIC is Akaike’s Information Criterion. Significance levels: * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01. The difference in goodness-of-fit between the full (ADE or ACE) model and reduced (AE) model Δχ(df=1)2=χADE2χAE2 did not reach significance for any of the variables, indicating that D or C paths can be dropped without significant deterioration of fit
