Factor Mean (Retained / Promoted)	0.68 / 0.00 **	0.37 / 0.00 **	1.00 / 0.00 **	−0.25 / 0.00
Factor Variance (Retained / Promoted)	1.00 / 1.00	1.00 / 1.00	1.00 / 1.00	1.00 / 1.00

Note. The factor means of the promoted students were set to 0. The factor variances of the retained and promoted students were set to 1.00. The factor means represent standardized differences (Cohen’s d). See Appendix A for specific items.
