Note: All model comparisons are relative to the fit statistics for the unconstrained unconditional model and used the Satorra–Bentler adjusted chi-square comparison test. Standard errors are in parentheses. US, unstan-dardized estimates; S, standardized estimates; CFI, comparative fit index, RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation, SRMR, standardized root mean square residual; MLR, maximum likelihood robust.
