Note. Spousal Loss. In the 1-class model, the CFI was 0.863 and the RMSEA was 0.088. In the 5-class solution, in the 2nd class, the variance for intercept and slope factor (and its covariance) were set to 0 due to a correlation greater than +/−1 when allowing them to be freely estimated.

Divorce. In the 1-class model, the CFI was 0.879 and the RMSEA was 0.073. In the 5-class model, the variance for level and the latent basis slope factor (and the covariance) was set to 0 in the 4th class due to a correlation greater than +/−1 when allowing them to be freely estimated.

Unemployment. In the 1-class model, the CFI was 0.940 and the RMSEA was 0.060. In the 3-class solution, in the 3rd class, the covariance between the pre-event and post-event slopes was set to 0 due to a correlation greater than +/−1 when allowing them to be freely estimated. In the 4-class solution, the variance for the first slope factor (and its covariances) was set to 0 for the 2nd and 4th class due to a correlation greater than +/−1 when allowing them to be freely estimated. In the 5-class solution, the covariances were all set to 0 for each group due to a correlation greater than +/−1 when allowing them to be freely estimated.
