Note: All loadings significant at p<0.01. Bolded items indicate factor loadings that could not be constrained to equality across groups. Other factor loadings differ across groups due to differences in standard errors. Factor loadings for the equivalence models are based on the reduced model in which a set of factor loadings and all covariances were constrained to equality across groups.
