Table 3. Model Fit Comparison for Tests of Measurement Invariance.
| Invariance | χ2 | df | p | RMSEA | AIC | BIC | Δχ2 | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Note. RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation; AIC = Akaike information criterion; BIC = Bayesian information criterion. All Δχ2 tests are based on the model immediately preceding the specified model. | ||||||||
