Note. N = 825.
The three stability paths for each of the constructs were constrained to be equal to one another, but otherwise there were no constraints (for the full model, see Figure 1).
In addition to the constraints of the baseline model, the three cross-lag paths in which sense of responsibility predicts disclosure six months later were constrained to be equal to one another.
