Model 1 = three-factor, second-order solution; Model 2 = three first-order factors solution; Model 3 = two first-order factors solution; Model 4 = unidimensional first-order factor solution.

CFI = comparative fit index; df = degrees of freedom; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation; TLI = Tucker-Lewis index.
