Note. AIC = Akaike Information Criterion; BIC = Bayesian Information Criterion; males = Amount of χ2 accounted for by men; Females = Amount of χ2 accounted for by females; RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Approximation; CFI = Comparative Fit Index; TLI = Tucker-Lewis Index; SRMR = Standardized Root Mean Square Residual.
