Latent Growth Model for Autonomy (N = 181).

	Younger Adolescents (n = 47) b (SE)	Older Adolescents (n = 134) b (SE)
Intercept (W1)	2.98 (.06)^***	3.18 (.04)^***
Slope	.08 (.03)^**	.03 (.02)
Nativity^a	.02 (.03)	.02 (.02)
Intercept variance	.09 (.03)^**	.11 (.02)^***
Slope variance	.01 (.00)	.01 (.00)^*

Note. Model fit: χ² (19) = 24.57, ns, CFI = .96, RMSEA = .06; W1 = Wave 1. CFI = Comparative fit index; RMSEA = Root mean square error of approximation.

Adolescent mothers’ nativity modeled as a predictor of the slope factor but constrained to be equal across younger and older adolescents. Nativity coded as 0 = Mexico-born, 1 = U.S.-born.
