Best fitting model is printed in bold; vs. = versus; χ2, df = chi-square test statistic and degrees of freedom for model; ∆χ2, ∆df = chi-square test statistic and degrees of freedom for chi-square difference test between two nested models; χ2/df = ratio between χ2 and degrees of freedom with regard to the chi-square difference test; ∆CFI = difference in CFI value between two nested models.
