Table 2.

Latent Profile Analysis, goodness of fit statistics for the entire sample (n = 8875) in the top half of this table; and for participants with high levels of psychiatric symptoms (n = 855) in its lower half. From left to right, multiple solutions are presented with increasing numbers of classes. Bold print indicates the best fitting solutions, the basis of further analyses (Tables 3 and 4)
