Note. All models were adjusted for sample weights and clustering. The estimated tetrachoric correlations among the 26 latent continuous response variables y* ranged from .18 to .82 according to the three-factor CFA model. WLSMVχ2 = robust weighted least squares chi-square test statistic; CFI = comparative fit index; RMSEA = root mean squared error of approximation; WRMR = weighted root mean square residual; DIF = differential item functioning; CI = confidence interval.

a

Model fit and substantive findings were nearly identical when the three-factor CFA model was re-estimated using data from only the female primary caregivers (N = 4,153, WLSMVχ2(296) = 1275.24, CFI = .955, RMSEA = .028, RMSEA 90% CI = .027, .030, WRMR = 2.313) and from only the English-language version (N = 3,400, WLSMVχ2(296) = 1132.53, CFI = .955, RMSEA = .029, RMSEA 90% CI = .027, .031, WRMR = 2.240), respectively.

b

Model fit and substantive findings were nearly identical when the baseline three-factor MIMIC model was re-estimated using data from only the female primary caregivers (N = 4,153, WLSMVχ2(365) = 1659.56, CFI = .938, RMSEA = .029, RMSEA 90% CI = .028, .031, WRMR = 2.454). Model fit and the vast majority of substantive findings also were closely replicated when this model was re-estimated using data from only the English-language version (N = 3,400, WLSMVχ2(365) = 1418.24, CFI = .942, RMSEA = .029, RMSEA 90% CI = .028, .031, WRMR = 2.315).

c

Model fit and substantive findings were nearly identical when the final three-factor MIMIC model was re-estimated using data from only the female primary caregivers (N = 4,153, WLSMVχ2(344) = 1244.28, CFI = .957, RMSEA = ..025, RMSEA 90% CI = .024, .027, WRMR = 2.061). Model fit and the vast majority of substantive findings also were closely replicated when this model was re-estimated using data from only the English-language version (N = 3,400, WLSMVχ2(344) = 1130.89, CFI = .957, RMSEA = .026, RMSEA 90% CI = .024, .028, WRMR = 2.015).
