Model Fit Statistics

Model number	Model description	Chi square	df	RMSEA	Lower 90% confidence interval	Upper 90% confidence interval	Nonnormed fit index	Comparative fit index
1	Configural invariance (no constraints) over time or across sex	6,256.51	5,544	.019	.016	.021	.995	.996
2	Weak invariance (loadings invariant) across sex and time	6,422.41	5,648	.019	.017	.022	.995	.996
3	Strong invariance (loadings and intercepts) across sex and time	6,670.36	5,752	.021	.018	.023	.994	.995
4	Fit of the growth curve model for seven time points across men and women	1,535.55	760	.051	.047	.055	.968	.978

Note. RMSEA = root-mean-square error of approximation; df = degree of freedom.
