Tests of standardized indirect effects within the three nested models of multiple group analysis in the German and Chinese sample.

	Germany		China
	Indirect effect	p	Indirect effect	p
Model 1 Invariance of model form	0.15	0.009	0.06	0.039
Model 2 Invariance of factor loadings	0.15	0.009	0.06	0.036
Model 3 Invariance of regression paths	0.10	0.003	0.06	0.003

N(Germany) = 84, N(China) = 125. All p-values refer to one-tailed tests. The tests of significance of the standardized indirect effects (ab paths) were performed based on 5000 bootstrap samples and bias-corrected 95% confidence intervals.
