nonsignificant (i.e., p ≥ .05).
Note: Coefficients were from the constrained confirmatory factor analysis model in which equality constraints were imposed on all of the factor loadings across the states of Washington and Victoria; coefficients for Victoria are in parentheses; unless otherwise noted, correlations are significant at p < .05 or better.
