Criteria used to decide on optimal solution for number of latent classes.
| Number of classes | BIC | Adj. BIC | BLRT | LMR | Entropy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 46378.41 | 46318.08 | – | – | – |
| 2 | 46143.38 | 46070.34 | 261.35*** | 251.78*** | .69 |

| 4a | 45952.44 | 45850.83 | 73.25*** | 41.68* | .73 |
Note: Adj. BIC = Sample size adjusted Bayesian Information Criteria. BLRT = Boot-strap likelihood ratio test. LMR = Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test.
p < .01.
Negative growth factor v**ariance and covariance were constrained to 0 in Classes 2–3.
