Notes:

n1 is sample size for TMV group; n2 is sample size for control group.

t indicates t value for treatment effect obtained from mplus output and defined as ratio of unstandardized estimate/standard error.

Cohen effect size defined as: t*(SQRT(((n1+n2)/(n1*n2))*((n1+n2)/(n1+n2-2)))).26

A positive (negative) sign for the t value and ES implies that the T2 or T3 adjusted mean for the latent Factor was higher (lower) for the TMV group than the control group.
