Note. PR = peer-reports, SR = self-reports, and GNC = gender nonconformity. Male and female unstandardized estimates in columns two and three are from the fully unconstrained model. The chi-square test statistics and related difference in chi-square statistics resulted from the sequentially constrained, nested model comparisons.
