Note. CFI = .99, RMSEA = .07, SRMR = .05. All effects are unstandardized. 0 Fixed means variance/covariance was fixed to 0 in order to obtain proper estimates.

a

The ratio between model estimated true slope variance and observed variance in OLS estimated individual slopes (National Center on Response to Intervention, 2011).

b

The average variance extracted by slope, ρves) (Fornell & Larcker, 1981).
