| 2b | 6,646.3 | 1,575 | .939 | .026 |
| 3c | 7,513.0 | 1,605 | .929 | .028 |
| 4d | 7,670.4 | 1,645 | .928 | .028 |

| 6f | 7,867.3 | 1,675 | .926 | .028 |
Note. CFI = comparative fit index; RMSEA = root-mean-square error of approximation.
a
Unconstrained model.
b
Factor loadings invariant.
c
Factor loadings and intercepts invariant (strong invariance).
d
Factor loadings, intercepts, and uniquenesses invariant (strict invariance).
e
Factor variances constrained to be invariant across time.
f
Factor variances and covariances constrained to be equal across time.
