Notes: analyses using EM imputations for those with one missing MSLSS value (N = 6,325) and mean and variance adjusted weighted least squares estimation (WLSMV). Similar findings were obtained when using MI (N = 7,325)

RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation, SRMR = standardized root mean square residual, CFI = comparative fit index

a

df based on WLSMV estimation

b

df based on number of free parameters
