Values are standardized estimates (B) and standard errors (SE). Dashed lines represent direct effects (see Figure 2) or redundant paths. Abbreviations: SDS = sexual double standard endorsement, PA = potential ambivalence, FA = felt ambivalence, Abd = abdication. Corresponding paths were constrained to be equal across groups with the exception of the paths between SDS endorsement and potential ambivalence and between SDS endorsement and abdication.
