Note: n—number of analyzed parent-child dyads. χ²(df)—chi-square test for goodness of fit (degrees of freedom); RMSEA—root-mean-square error of approximation; CI—confidence interval; CFI—comparative fit index; TLI—Tucker–Lewis index; CMIN/df—minimum discrepancy divided by its degrees of freedom. ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05. coefficients between error terms; single-headed arrows display standardized regression coefficients; dotted arrows indicate non-significant associations. ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05.
