Notes: In unconstrained models (Model 1), the magnitude of factor loadings was free to vary across the four nativity-language groups. Factor loading constrained models (Model 2) assumed equal factor loadings across all groups. ΔCFI represents the difference between unconstrained and more constrained models. Model 3 for job demands allowed two of the five factor loadings to be unconstrained.
