a

direct effect parameters, covariances, and means were constrained across groups and variances were not constrained across, unstandardized parameters t-values were the same in the Mplus printout, however standardized values may be different across groups.

b

path was not estimated in the corresponding model.

c

path constrained to zero.

d

equality constraint across groups
