In the columns for Total variance and Factor % under the “Genetic Influences” and “Nonshared Environmental Influences” headings, values +0.30 or more are bolded. No bolding is given for the criterion-specific values. Only a single (Total variance) column is included under “Shared Environment” because the best-fitting structural model contained only a single common factor, with no criterion-specific shared environmental (C) effects.
