Note: This correlational model has identical fit as the model displaying the correlations between EFs and negative thought/mood constructs (Figure 3a), but also summarizes the correlations among negative thought/mood constructs. The 95% CIs are displayed below each correlation in brackets. Note that the EF latent variables are uncorrelated with each other by definition.
