Note. SB- χ² = Satorra-Bentler corrected χ² value. CI_90-RMSEA = 90% confidence interval of the RMSEA. For the total TALIS 2013 sample, partial scalar was not tested due to a large number of possible combinations that could be used to constrain some of the item intercepts across the 32 participating countries.
